Physiology & Environment (Ecology)

Growing up to 2.3 meters high, the Tredhili remind one of a brightly multi-colored asparagus with anywhere from 6-12 tentacles. They move about slowly (1 kph top speed) on 12-20 pseudopods developed from the plant's root system.

  • Omnivorous, they developed during a time when Funafuti started to dry up, evolving them to utilize animals as a subsidiary water source. For capture/defense, Tredhili developed a thorny tip on some of their tentacles (usually 2-4) which injects a paralyzing drug. Treat the normal tentacles as whip damage and attack. The Tredhili suck subsistence thru their normal tentacles. The same normal tentacles act as manipulative members.
  • The fibrous body is tough.
  • They are bisexual, reproducing by exchanging spores with other Tredhili.
