Toxic Vinebrush
Dark, jagged vines that wrap around the ruins, with toxic, purplish flowers. The flowers emit a faint, noxious gas that distorts vision and causes mild hallucinations.
Function: These vines are a byproduct of the planet's toxic atmosphere and absorb chemicals from the air. They can be used in some rare alchemical potions or as dangerous traps in survival situations.
-
Glassroot Trees
Tall, crystalline trees with branches that resemble broken glass. Their bark is like sharp, glass-like crystals, and they shimmer in the light of the planet’s dim sun.
Function: The Glassroot trees have adapted to the harsh environment by developing an energy-absorbing crystal structure, which gives them the ability to survive in areas with minimal sunlight. Some of their roots extend into the ground, absorbing energy from the planet's core, making them essential to the ecosystem.
-
Ash Moss
A dark green-gray moss that grows in thick patches on buildings, walls, and even on the ground. It has a glimmering silver underlayer that can almost look metallic in the right light.
Function: This moss grows rapidly in the toxic soil of Mistrucury, helping to stabilize the ground but releasing corrosive spores when disturbed. It is often used to make hazardous materials for certain weaponized technologies.
-
Cinderblossoms
Fire-red flowers with glowing cores that emit heat at night. The petals are tough and leathery, almost like the hide of an animal.
Function: Cinderblossoms have a natural resistance to the acidic rains and are often found near the edge of active volcanic areas. They are rare, but their heat-producing properties make them valuable for crafting or as part of some rituals.

Fauna

Ironclad Scorpions
Large, armored scorpions with black, iron-like exoskeletons. They have glowing red eyes and a long, venomous tail.
Function: These creatures are predators in the wastelands, using their sharp pincers to catch prey. The venom in their tails is highly toxic and can paralyze their victims. They are often feared and avoided by most inhabitants of Mistrucury.
-
Cinder Hounds
Lean, skeletal dogs with charred black fur and glowing eyes. Their bodies are covered in a hard, heat-resistant crust, giving them a nearly invulnerable exterior.
Function: Cinder Hounds are scavengers, tracking through the wastelands and hunting smaller creatures. They are extremely fast and are often employed as trackers by bounty hunters or law enforcement.
-
Gloomriders
Large, insectoid creatures with massive, leathery wings that emit a faint glow in the dark. Their legs are long and spindly, allowing them to move quickly over uneven terrain.
Function: Gloomriders have developed a symbiotic relationship with the toxic atmosphere. Their wings have adapted to filter out harmful particles, and they use their agility to glide between ruins or underground caves. Often, these creatures are used for reconnaissance by resistance groups.
-
Veil Serpents
Long, translucent serpents that blend seamlessly with the environment. They are venomous and have a silvery sheen to their scales.
Function: These creatures are known for their ability to coil into spaces that are otherwise unreachable, making them dangerous to anyone who dares to explore certain tunnels or caves. Their venom is known to cause intense hallucinations and is occasionally used by the government as a form of chemical warfare.
-
Smog Drakes
Small, dragon-like creatures with wings that look like torn sails. Their bodies are thin, with spines covered in ash.
Function: Smog Drakes feed on the thick smog and acid rains that cover Mistrucury. Their scales can withstand the corrosive environment, and their breath is capable of expelling a cloud of toxic smoke. They are typically not aggressive but have been known to attack in defense of their territory.
