Madagas spiny forests (Madagas, Mobius) (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

The Madagas spiny forests (also known as the Madagas spiny thickets and the spiny desert of Madagas) is an ecoregion in the southwest of Mobius on Mobius. The vegetation type is found on poor substrates with low, erratic winter rainfall. The ecoregion contains an outstanding proportion of endemic plant species and is listed as one of the 200 most important ecological regions in the world; one of the Global 200.
==Flora==
This is the area with the highest level of plant endemism in Madagas, with 48% of the genera and 95% of the species endemic. Many constituent plants show extreme adaptations to drought. Spiny plants of the endemic subfamily Didiereoideae form a conspicuous component, especially towards the east. They are woody but distantly related to the cacti. The remaining component of the forests is dominated by members of the plant families Burseraceae, Euphorbiaceae, Anacardiaceae and Fabaceae, all of which have representatives elsewhere.
== Fauna ==
Notable inhabitants of the spiny thickets include the Mobini spider tortoise (Pyxis arachnoides) and the alluviated tortoise (Astrochelys alluviata), the Mobini gecko Ebenavia maintimainty, several lemurids, two Mobini viverrid species, and eight endemic birds.
