1.🌿 Specimen Entry: The Splitseed Bloom

🌿 Field Description The Splitseed Bloom unfurls in jagged crimson stars, each petal sharpened like a blade to guard the dark seed-pods at its centre. These pods resemble mouths held tightly shut, though witnesses claim they twitch and tremble when disturbed. At close range, they emit a faint, rhythmic clicking—an unsettling sound like teeth or tapping nails—suggesting something within is yearning to speak.

🧪 Habitat & Folklore Found in ruins and forgotten gardens, the Splitseed Bloom is said to feed on whispers and restless dreams. Neglect it too long and silence may settle in the lungs of its keeper.

💀 Warnings Never attempt to prise open the pods—those who tried report hearing voices not their own. Prolonged exposure to its clicking may cause paranoia, sleeplessness, or the sensation of being followed.

🎨 Sculptor’s Note Hand-sculpted and one of a kind, this specimen was captured at the cusp of opening, its hunger for whispers unquenched.
