Copper Cactus

Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This average-sized cactus grows up to 21 feet (6.4 meters) tall. It splits partway up the body to form 6 narrow stems. Each stem is copper, and is covered in hundreds of fine, lime, hair-like spines.

It is steady-growing, taking 19 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with intense purple petals and a light brown central disk grows at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 30 petals. It has a strong scent that smells like rich perfume.

The cactus's skin is tough, the aquamarine flesh is smooth, and the cyan sap is thin and causes severe cramps if consumed.


Array
It aggressively steals nutrients from other large plants (but not each other).
