This is one of the few plants the Forlorn were able to retain from the Destruction. In its most primitive, base form, it is a low, fast growing, squashlike vegetable. It was originally intended to be a food source and 'air conditioner' plant, since it has large leaves for relatively high rates of respiration. It has been manipulated into a large number of variants providing everything from dyes to food to fibers for cloth. Even now, after an influx of new plants, the Groukit has an important place in Forlorn agriculture, and even more, an important place in the Forlorn heart. Every household has a large, lavishly cared for Groukit in a place of honor in their main room.
