Sophodra's Backpack

Sophodra's backpack is based on a laboul organism, which has evolved a special structure that allows it to directly absorb nutrients from the bodies of insects. Unlike most fungus, which rely on a complex network of hyphae, the laboul has evolved a distinct structure that resembles a little "foot." This foot allows it to immediately enter the body of insects and collect nutrition as needed. Macrovolutes have altered this relationship by utilizing their labouls as a multipurpose tool, acting as a portable computer and backpack. Even the anthers can be used as modular components for a variety of applications. In Sophodra's case, her modified laboul is larger than typical and is linked to her body by using the hyphae of a separate farmed fungus. Hyphae in this setting have been adapted to not directly infest the macrovolute. She has also made personal changes to her laboul, such as lowering the anthers for better visibility. Although being a specialized technology, Sophodra regards the laboul as a valuable tool for her work.
Another piece of technology that is attached to Sophodra's backpack is called the "Mock Nasute" this gun-like tool is built from two separate flowers that are found on both sides of the laboul. It can shoot a multitude of projectiles, currently one of the things we see it shoot is flytraps used to catch Hivers.
