During my outings in the fields due east of Farmer Bill's Ranch, I have stumbled upon wandering Garlic plants. They're quite hostile, and the smell is less than desirable to even the most hearty of adventurers. This wandering vegetation proves most intriguing, their essence can be used to create all sorts of medicines and elixir; While their skins can be used as crude parchment, as well as being used in a variety of other concoctions.
While I am exploring in the area, I have noted that the effect of personal Solar Rays created by use of the mirror effect on the rings found throughout Gaia, which are used to fight off the current over flow of animate inanimate objects. These objects, known as the Animated, are fantastic research subjects. While they are not automated, automatons, or steam-powered beings, they are simply objects brought to life by some unseen, and quite unknown force.
Allium sativum, more commonly known as Garlic to most Gaians, has become increasingly hostile here on Farmer Bill's Ranch, and the lands surrounding the area. Farmer Bill was known for growing, and cultivating the vegetable, and when the outbreak of Animated began, his crops joined the fray.
The result in their recent animation has left the Garlic quite hostile. They spew forth a foul poison from their mouths which can daze their victims.
