Volcanae

The Volcanae were a non-sapient species in the early days of Minecraftia.
== Biology ==
The Volcanae had a wide, cone look to it, resembling a small, fleshy volcano, hence their name. They were rooted into the ground, with their roots reaching several feet underground. 
Volcanae reproduce using spores, usually erupting and launching them to distant areas.
Volcanae flourished around tropical areas, usually around a volcano. The young spores, themselves, rely on large amounts of heat in order to grow. 
Volcanae could live for at least a thousand years, if not more. However, once assimilated by the zombies, their lifespan was perpetually indefinite.
== History ==
Little is known about the species' origins, but it was speculated that they evolved from microscopic organisms around areas with high volcanic activity. They would spend millions of years spreading around the various volcanic rainforests of the world. 
At least a million years before the events of the Notch-Herobrine War, some of the Volcanae had been infected with the zombie virus. They could then launch zombie seeds to any location around the world. Due to their usefulness, the zombies chose to fully assimilate their species. Within a few weeks, the entire Volcanae species was completely assimilated, become the zombie subspecies officially designated as the spore launcher.
Due to the lack of genetic material or documented evidence, little is known about the Volcanae species as a whole. The only evidence of their species were the decayed remains and casts of the Volcanae, as well as their resemblance to the zombie spore launchers. Their species was a complete mystery until 20,999, when a small population of living Volcanae was discovered inside a volcanic chamber. The Volcanae were then transferred to various volcanic and tropical worlds around the galaxy, where they flourished and quickly multiplied within the next few decades.
