Maroksi's Touch
Can infect a target with clonal growths of itself or attach cottony seeds. These will consume organic material or the energy of a target in order to grow or, far more often, simply attach seed pods to a target until they scratch them off elsewhere. The longer they can maintain contact, the more seed heads or clones they can attach. Most often these are attached to passing people or grazers to propogate their seeds.

Northland Cottonsedge
Size
Flower Heads 1-2 cm
Blade Lenght 2-8 in (60-200 mm)
A species of sedge found in wetlands and colder climates, often at high altitudes if not in alpine regions. They have a fibrous root system and its seed head is a single, feathery cotton ball. One oval fruit hides within this cotton, a dry fruit called an achene. Griper grass has long, smooth blades which emerge from the bottom of the stem and alternate, wilting yearly. Griper grass grows alongside other sedges and grasses wherever the soil is moist, blooming in summer from June-August. Its fluffy cotton head is meant to disperse its seeds via wind, electrical currents or touch for those with Maroksi's Touch. It will grow in all northernmost lands of Emynea, including the Frozen Wastes, the Continent Beyond, Rossiya, Mongol Uls, Nordreyjar and Skaney (especially Eldingfjord and Syremyr). Griper grass needs wet if not inundated soil, most often seen in or near bogs, swamps, tundra and fens but will also congregrate anywhere with rich soil and poor drainage such as wet meadows, river terraces, seepage slopes and flood plains. It thrives in soil rich in organic content such as peat, otherwise prefering silty, rocky soil rich in calcium.
