Fun Fact
Tumblr was created by web developers David Karp and Marco Arment.

Plants are not generally thought to move much. Of course, there are dramatic exceptions, such as a venus flytrap’s predatory snap, or a sunflower’s daily turn to track the sun, but the truth is that many, if not most, plants move to a degree. Over time, leaves can be angled to catch the light from a new opening in the canopy, and tendrils can search the open air for a new anchor to climb from. And in shady, moist forests from the tropics to the temperate zones, a Germite demonstrates clearly that plants can be more active than anyone gives them credit for. Admittedly, they are most frequently seen as a crown of palm-sized, heart-shaped leaves nestled in the dark undergrowth, but just below the leaf litter, a 30-cm taproot dominates the mass of the plant. It is largely a quiet, peaceful life, but there are certainly dangers. The soil can get swamped by heavy rain if in a low-lying area, or it can dry out, the dappled sunlight that they rely on can get too sparse, or a fallen tree can expose them to too much, or herbivores can simply become too eager for their tender, palatable leaves. Now, no plant is helpless against these threats, but Rhizopods can simply leave. Stress causes hydraulic vacuoles in that big root to kick into action, pressurizing canals that loop into the many rootlets that line one side. Each is able to feel and taste its surroundings, making independent decisions that collectively dig the whole plant out. Now slowly roaming over the forest floor, the Rhizopod earns its name, and somewhat resembles a sea cucumber in the way it moves. If the quality of the light is the most important factor in the next place it settles down, it will move crown-first, using its leaves as makeshift eyes to pick up light intensity as it travels. Conversely, if it is in search of nutrients, it will move root-first, the rootlets at the end of the taproot guiding it by the taste of the soil and the air.
Due to the energetic demands of moving this way, Rhizopods on the move will often make pit-stops at any carrion or feces that they happen upon, nestling into it and secreting weak solvents to more easily absorb it. Their nutrients and calories topped up, they continue on their way. They hold their crowns of leaves up to protect them from damage, giving the impression of alertness, and they are indeed on guard while uprooted. If harassed, they will turn and flee, even burying themselves to escape the curiosity and hunger of other wildlife. Nevertheless, they aren’t difficult to collect for human foragers, and productive forests can yield hundreds in one day of work. Their roots are bland and spongy, but their leaves are very agreeable and nutritious raw or cooked. The tradition in most areas is to take half the leaves, and release the Rhizopod to regrow them. Though kinder to the population than simply taking the entire plant, the stress of repeated collecting tends to shorten their impressive lifespans. Unstressed Rhizopods regularly achieve 15 years, and the oldest surpass 30. They first set flower in only their third summer, putting out globe-shaped clusters of tiny, white blossoms that are visited by gnats and other flies. Once fertilized, these become dry capsules, and the fruiting Rhizopod will travel more frequently to scatter the tiny, black seeds more widely over the forest floor. Rhizopod seedlings are translucent and worm-like, just a couple millimeters long, and much more mobile than adults. Though moving frequently does burn some of the sugars needed to grow, their long seedling-hood is spent in relative safety compared to most plants. The biggest dangers to a sprout are an unstable microhabitat, and insect herbivores, but Rhizopod seedlings need only move to a safer patch of leaf litter to overcome these. As such, a higher percentage of seedlings reach adulthood than most plants, meaning their populations are both stable, and capable of bouncing back quickly in the wake of habitat damage or overharvesting.
The germ bodies of Rhizopods emerge from the center of their leaf crown, and resemble the leaves surrounding them as they are flattened, heart-shaped, and green. They drift slowly and aimlessly over the vegetation, their luminescence easily mistaken for fireflies at night.

Fun Fact: In my head I refer to hermitcraft as "germit-hraft" because my sense of humor is to misspell every word i say often so eventually the misspelling becomes the word and then i misspell that and it keeps going until the word is malformed beyond all recognition.

It is difficult to understand, or even begin to categorize, Anommael. There appears to be little consistency to their occurence besides their rarity in brightly-lit and densely-populated places, and their complete absence if expected to be seen. In other words, a sighting is always a surprise in some way or another. Whether it is inside an abandoned cellar, deep in an ancient forest, or under the night sky on a desert cliff, the eye-like beings simply open out of thin air with no warning. Though superficially similar to the human eye in size and appearance, their “eyelashes” are rays of flickering golden light, and their interior is a vast, featureless, purple-blue void that is entirely invisible from behind. Hovering just inside the impossible opening in space, the only solid part of them is a gold-colored, metallic ring studded with blue “pearls”. Once open, they are completely stationary relative to the earth, remaining static regardless of conditions until they close. They may reopen a short distance away, but it’s impossible to know whether these represent the same individual, or if the concept of “individual” even applies. Some hypothesize that they are the eyes of a higher-dimensional being or beings, peering into our space, but without more evidence this remains nothing but conjecture.
Despite the mysteries surrounding them, there is some understanding of their behavior. They are known to appear in aggregations on occasion, randomly scattered or in any of a variety of recorded formations. Outward-facing rings, highly regular "walls", even towering cylinders in which every eye faces inwards toward the viewer in some instances. The shapes that aggregations form don’t have any proven causes or functions, but superstition nonetheless holds that they can be used to predict events in the near future. They also seem to avoid being touched by solid objects, and usually wink out just before contact is made, but as an unlucky few have learned, sometimes not quickly enough. If a foreign object is inside an Anommael’s internal volume when it closes, it appears to be deflected in a direction that doesn’t exist in our understanding of space. Visually, it is pinched into a point where the Anommael closed on it, light bending around the spatial distortion causing it to resemble a stretched texture in a video game. Those with deflected fingers or even hands report retaining sensation in the appendage, usually saying that wherever it is feels cold and “fuzzy”, like holding skin up to the screen of a CRTV. Almost invariably, they were attempting to take the ring just inside the Anommael, an apparently simple task so famously impossible that it has become an idiom for any pointless effort.
The germ bodies of Anommael resemble translucent tears that glow a soft blue. They move very quickly, and can turn instantaneously as though they have no mass.
