Dragon's Fang

Desert Peaches, also known as the Dragon's fang, is a fruit. That grows in the deserts of Neruma.

It's a pale-yellow plant that grows in clusters and has similar properties to a cactus: No leaves, fleshy base, stores lots of fluid.

It is quite a tall plant, standing about 5ft-6ft on average. It tapers to a sharp point at the top of the plant, like a tooth (this is the plant's only form of defense btw). It's very sweet tasting; like a mixture of butterscotch and coffee. The entire plant is edible, including the tough spine at the top of it.

It's well-known as "Dragon's Fang" for two reasons:

1) Clusters of Desert Peaches look like a set of massive teeth.

2) They are nearly identical to the spines on the back of a Sand Drake, an ambush predator that lives in the same areas Desert Peaches Grow. (They hide underground, leaving their spines exposed and using the fact that they look identical to Desert Peaches, and wait for prey to walk on top of it).

The trouble here is, when you see a group of pastel-colored spikes in the ground, you can't tell whether you're about to enjoy a nice snack, or become a snack yourself
