Information[]


The Crawl (Scandere Carnis, Latin for: Climb the Meat) is a member of the Vita Carnis family. Due to its unique nature, it thrives in all types of environment and grows all the other organisms of the Vita Carnis family besides the Monoliths and the Singularity who can convert dead animals into Crawl.

Biology[]

The Crawl generally consists of a growth of meaty tendrils, that resemble the small intestine . Its red color can vary in its shade from tendril to tendril. The tendrils have a similar pattern of growth to [1], mold or fungi. The primary stem of the Crawl serves as a host of division of its other branches. vines

Ecology[]

Growth[]

The ends of the Crawl's tendrils have organelles to absorb water and organic matter. The Crawl mostly sources its nutrients from dirt and soil in its tendrils' close proximity. Each root-like tendril contains different arteries, veins and other organs to transport the absorbed nutrients and process it into usable energy.

Furthermore the Crawl performs its own form of photosynthesis. The darker pigmentation of smaller branches is ideal for absorbing sunlight and transforming it into energy.

It has also been seen that an singularity can somehow convert a corpse into a branch of crawl. The crawl produced by the Singularity was shown to grow nodes faster than other crawl.

To note it has been found that if any object that produces signals the Crawl will grow to reach and cover that object before growing as normal.

Symbiosis with nature[]

The Crawl's unique life cycle lead to many changes in nature's balance. Waste by animals and plants is consumed and processed by the Crawl. The old branches fall off and decay into nutrient-rich soil, which increases the growth of plants in its proximity. Also the meaty tendrils of the Crawl can be eaten by carnivores.

Sometimes nodes of meat may grow on a Crawl's branch, which then fall off and live on as independent organisms, e. g. the Trimmings.

Human use[]

The Crawl can be sustainably cultivated by humans. It is processed into nutrient-rich fertilizer used in agriculture. The Crawl can also be eaten by humans but its unkindly appearance and taste make it so that eating Crawl is not cuisine standard.
