Description

INDIVIDUAL: UNIQUE: A special creation of God the Father, the Guardian of Terramos, popularly unofficially known as "Biggunkel", "Worltrodst" and other names applied by primitive humanoids early in Prime Galaxy history, is an enormous, immobile, rooted plant-creature that resides near the planet's World Tree and acts as a massively powerful energy source for the planet's ecosystem, producing large quantities of several varieties of native edible fruit, as well as a few that are unique to it, and gives off huge amounts of oxygen and other life–sustaining gases. In addition, it was designed to contain living space for thousands of creatures in the empty parts of its body, and is home to several major animal colonies. The Guardian stands approximately 120 meters high and 600 meters long, and has an estimated total durability value of at least 100,000. It is visible from space and is, along with Garmickdoe Velc, one of the very largest living entities in the Prime Galaxy. The Guardian is not truly sentient by the standard definition of the word, but some of the parts/sub–organisms that comprise it are discernibly more animate and lively than others.

BONUS CREATURE:
Traalstalk: An angelic being resembling a tree or giant flower. The Traalstalk is like a poor man's version of the Guardian of Terramos; being physically made up of a mixture of extra–corporeal matter and a compact composite of several types of particularly fine, nutrient–rich plant matter that exist elsewhere, it serves as both a moderately–potent generator of oxygen and other benign gases and a source of multiple types of delicious fruit. Traalstalks are created by Sharshimo, but materialize in the many botanical gardens within Paradise rather than in the Great Chamber of the Cosmos, where the Heavenly Lord of Order resides. From there, they may potentially be sent down to planets in the Prime Galaxy to better their environments. In such an event, a Traalstalk takes the form of a tiny spore/seed that shoots down to its destination planet like a miniature meteorite, penetrates the surface and rapidly regrows and re–blooms from there. However, while Traalstalks were once a common presence in the Prime Galaxy, with several planets being home to multiple specimens, the angel–plants are now exceedingly rare in the mortal realm, with only a handful of them still being known to exist (in the Prime Galaxy, that is). This is thought to be due to Traalstalks no longer being necessary to sustain most environments, and represents one of the many ways in which the amount of divine intervention for the betterment of mortals has declined as of late, most likely due to a desire on the part of the Heavens for humanoids to be more independent in taking care of themselves. In any case, thousands of Traalstalks maintain a consistent presence throughout each of the sixteen versions of Paradise.
Traalstalks are almost always stationary, and may appear to be similar in nature to "normal" plants, but are in fact very much self–aware. In the event of an emergency, one may unroot itself and start moving around, using its roots as legs/tentacles. A Traalstalk measures at least six meters in height, and has a durability value of 4,000.
