Appearance

Named for their appearance, the Snake Whip bramble is a low-growing bramble which seems to exist in a state of utter chaos. It has no berries and it's long vines are entwined in impossible knots on the forest floor. However, every now and then a slight movement will mean that a single vine will "whip" out and strike. When it makes contact, the thorns leave a mark which resemble the bite of a snake, twin puncture wounds, close together.

Uses

The thorns of this bramble can be harvested for Zip Stick, an adrenaline-like substance. However, it is not only the unusual that this bramble is used for. In Desnind, all plants are sacred to Moseke and throughout the city and its surrounds small and intricate statues made from Snake Whip bramble are common sights. It's used as kindling for the Fire Pit and the vines themselves are stripped of thorns and added to roof thatching and fences.

Hazard / Toxicity

Very few. The Zip Stick must be gathered in a specific way or it has much less impact. If one cuts oneself on the thorns then nausea and a brief adrenaline rush occur. Obviously, the thorns themselves are hazardous, also.
