Amberge is a predatory species of Jhoutaioan Coral which devours other hard coral species and produces a resinous sap to protect itself and encapsulate any Rutas Olu which land upon it for later consumption. When Amberge runs out of viable coral to consume, it instead consumes its own amber—like a body consuming its own fat for calories.
Amberge is invasive and fragile, leeching away at other coral structures until they collapse—often with devastating chain reactions that leave fissures kilometers long and just as deep through the Kajh-Tai Region.
Despite the danger they present, these fissures are critical to the ecosystem of the regions, as they allow the sunbaked upper stories of the coral to reach down and tap into the rich, sugary Amberchrys for crucial nutrients.
Some of the greatest fossil discoveries have been due to ancient Amberge collapses.
