27.🥀 Specimen: The Thornmouth

🌿 Field Description Plum-dark petals curl around a central pod lined with sharp white fangs, gleaming against green flesh. Crimson-streaked leaves flare outward as though wounded, while roots twist into the moss like barbs clutching the earth. Collectors say the Thornmouth sometimes rasps faintly in still air, like breath dragged through hidden thorns. Its beauty feels regal yet predatory, a bloom dressed in finery to disguise its menace.

🧪 Habitat & Folklore Said to sprout in thorny hedgerows and ruined fields, feeding on scars both seen and remembered.

💀 Warnings Do not touch the pod—its fangs can pierce skin. Exposure may bring dreams of brambles tightening around the body.

🎨 Sculptor’s Note Hand-sculpted and one of a kind, with plum petals, streaked leaves, and a snarling pod.
