Emerald

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

This average-sized cactus grows up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) tall. It splits randomly along the body to form 3 very thick stems. Each stem is emerald, and is covered in sharp spines. The cuboid body is yellow-green, and is covered in lots of rigid cream spines.

It is steady-growing, taking 3 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with solid vivid purple petals decorated with cream dots and a bold green central disk, grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is made up of 9 petals in raised layers. It has a delicate scent that smells like a woman.

The cactus's skin is thin, the slate flesh is smooth, and the dark brown sap is thin and has hallucinogenic properties.

It is difficult to kill and will quickly regrow if it falls or if its limbs are knocked off.
It can grow in even the most barren lands.
It is suitable for making baskets and the like
