Tlincalli Thorn
Description
A particularly fierce looking cactus that grows in a hook shape resembling that of a tlincalli’s scorpion-like stinger. In fact, it is this property that makes this herb curious to magi-botanists, as the tlincalli themselves are instinctively drawn to these plants and will prioritise laying their eggs among them whenever possible. Unfortunately, no scholar has managed to interview a tlincalli and discover what connection (if any) they have to this plant, but the current theory is that the two specimens shaped each other’s development - with the tlincalli protecting the plant from harm, while in exchange, the strange venoms inherent in the needles of the plant are what give the young tlincalli the hard exoskeletons that protect them in their most vulnerable years.
