Caramelactus

Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This colossal cactus grows up to 128 feet (39.0 meters) tall. The asymmetrical stem is moss green, and is covered in thick sheets of rigid caramel spines.

It is very slow growing, taking 21 years to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a single flower with petals that are violet on the edges and copper at the center grows at the top, reappearing after 3 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is largely flat with several tightly layered round-tipped petals. It has a powerful scent that smells like chocolate.

The cactus's skin is thick, the violet flesh is smooth, and the orange sap is thin.

All of it is said to be part of one single, massive plant.
It absorbs an exceptionally large amount of water each day.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
