Tree Leech

The Tree Leech, formerly known as Barnacle Sucker, is a type of life form belonging to the flora category.

It is found growing on the side of Tree Mushrooms or on the cave's wall.

Tree Leech currently serves as a decoration.

Appearance
The Tree Leech is a small, circular plant having a hole in the center surrounded by jagged tooth-like structures.

It is capable of emitting dull pink bioluminescent glows.

Data Bank Entry
Parasitic, fungus-like growth found attached to other flora. An enzyme is released by the organism which dissolves a hole in the skin of the host, from which it leaches nutrients directly.

Outer, tooth-lined jaw serves no identified purpose. May be used during a different stage of the organism's lifecycle?

Assessment: Exploitable fungal enzymes
