Candytree

The candytree is a type of plant native to Moguria.
==Information==
It is a large, photosynthesizing plant with a lumpy, ligneous trunk and five broad, dark brown leaves. It lives for roughly 150 years. Every spring, its leaves fall off and are replaced with dandelion-like clusters of wind-riding seeds.
The candytree is most well-known for its ethanol-saturated trunk. Though its leaves produce a lot of sugar, the candytree prevents predators and parasites from targeting it by fermenting the sugar into ethanol and consuming that instead of sugar. Thus, anything that tries to consume a candytree will suffer from lethal ethanol poisoning.
Candytrees have bright pastel-colored pigments in their bark to warn potential predators to stay away.
During the initial evolution of the Mogurians and their civilization, they discovered that the pigments in candytree bark nullified the toxicity of liquid cytamo, resulting in a mildly alcoholic, sweet-tasting beverage. This beverage became known as mulcohal and was frequently enjoyed by Mogurians.
==Trivia==
*Their leaves contain large amounts of unfermented sugar. They are entirely edible and can be eaten as a sweet treat.
