{{Creo}}

Mourvine is a [[Nature]]-type [[Creo]] and the grown form of [[Sprimour]]. Where the seedling relies on being unpleasant to eat, Mourvine relies on being difficult to approach.

Mourvine does not leave the stand of seedlings it grew out of. It stays among them and puts its spiked arms between a predator and the group, which is what the line falls back on when the poison alone has not worked.

== Biology ==
Mourvine is 1.2 meters tall and 30 kilograms. The soft bulb of the Sprimour has hardened into a woody brown trunk on two jointed legs, and the single hood leaf has split into a set of bare, forked branches that serve as arms and as a crown. A band of magenta petals sits at the throat, the only soft tissue left anywhere on the animal.

The branches are the new defense. They are green and flexible at the tips and hard as seasoned timber toward the trunk, and Mourvine uses them to lash and to fend off rather than to grip. Broken tips regrow within a season, so the arms of an older Mourvine are noticeably denser and more tangled than those of a freshly matured one.

Mourvine has lost the toxic film of the seedling entirely and no longer needs it, since almost nothing will push through a thicket of thrashing branches for a meal that small. It photosynthesizes through the branch tips and the throat petals, feeds on nothing, and spends most of its life standing among Sprimour doing very little until something comes close.
