Bronze

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

This average-sized cactus grows up to 63 feet (19.2 meters) tall. It splits partway up the body to form 2 thick stems. Each stem is dull green and green, and is covered in brittle bronze spines.

It is slow growing, taking 27 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with solid pastel green petals and a hazel central disk, grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is made up of 28 petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight cube. It has a weak scent that smells like fermented fruit.

The cactus's skin is nearly impenetrable, the azure flesh is rough, and the pastel purple sap is thin and causes severe cramps if consumed.
