FLORA. Name: Ribbon Moss. Image:https://i.imgur.com/6ZfHBzt.jpg, close up: https://i.imgur.com/srerKPx.jpg Description: Walked right into its area of effect, at least 30m of camouflaged moss that took on the colour properties of the terrain around it. Looks like a pile of silken ribbons, at least 15cm deep to the ankle when you step in it. Immediate absorption of all sound in its radius, quiet deafening. Couldn't even hear myself breathe. Eerie, uncomfortable. Very soft to the touch. Texture is something indescribable, closest approximation being fleece. Supplemental data: can grow to a breadth of 70m. Habitat: Found away from water in a cooler area of the coelacanth, its back I think. Supplemental data: thrives in dry, room temperature environments. Adjacent species live in cooler climates. Strong aversion to the warm and damp. Behavior: Harmless. Cutting it (also silent), segments curled away from my blade but did nothing in retaliation. Grows in vast quantities and covers entire areas in a dense blanket. Seems to dislike heat, shrank when I used monolighter in its vicinity. Could be flammable. Did not eat. Supplemental data: no smell, no taste. Edible but its texture and consistency is similar to 'eating a shirt'. No nutritional value. Side effects present. Ingestion causes temporary deafness. Uses: Sound dampening, absolutely. Insulation. Stealth implications. Taking as much as I can carry back to camp. Discovered by: Hei.
