Prickletac

Prickletac is a shrub native to the Shattered Plains of Roshar.
==Description==
Prickletac is comprised of tiny buds at the ends of the shrub's limbs. Each bud has a retractable spine and only those buds at the ends of the limbs are alive.Shallan's Sketchbook
New generations of the shrub grow on top of deceased generations beneath it. After a generation dies, each their remnants become rock hard, thereby creating strong unbending limbs.
When a limb eventually becomes too heavy, it breaks off from the shrub and prickletac spreads. The live buds from the broken limb then scatter and form new shrubs.Shallan's Sketchbook
==Notes==
According to Ben McSweeney, or Inkthinker,Inkthinker prickletac was inspired by barnacles and tree coral.Shallan's Sketchbook
