38.💎 Specimen: The Crystal Maw

📜 Field Guide

With petals of deep violet and a mouth where a flower’s heart should be, the Crystal Maw is one of the Garden’s more unsettling blossoms. Folklore claims its roots feed not only on soil but on the shards of crystal nestled at its base, drawing strange energies that sharpen its bite and lend its whispers a peculiar resonance. Keepers often report faint murmurs at night, too soft to catch yet impossible to ignore.

🍄 Habitat

The Crystal Maw thrives in shaded nooks rich with moss, stone and mineral. It favours quiet corners where its gleam of crystal can glimmer faintly, waiting for an unsuspecting hand to draw too near.

⚠️ Warning

Though small, its bite is swift. Tales tell of curious fingers nipped and of uneasy dreams carried by its crystal-fed whispers.

🎨 Sculptor’s Note

Hand-sculpted from clay, painted by hand, and set into moss with genuine crystal shards. Each Maw is entirely unique, its mouth and crystals ensuring no two ever grow alike.
