Hellthorn Bush
Manufacturer: Emrys Industries
The Hellthorn Bush is a genetically modified thorn bush – designed to be an easy to disperse and cheap (and yet highly effective) blockade, designed by Emrys Industries. The bush is focused around a deep and wide root network – designed to make the plant especially hard to destroy – and from this vines grow along the ground and from this grows a thick tangle of vertical vines.
All of the vines are very strong and resistant to damage and are studded with 10 centimeters long razor sharp thorns – designed to tangle and rip clothing and shredding skin. A well grown Hellthorn Bush will have a horizontal growth of ten meters by ten meters and be three meters tall. They grow with great speed – and will reach this size in a week. The default Hellthorn Bush has long spiky green leaves.
Price: 30 KS per seed. There is a reduced price offer in bulk.
Variants
Ground huggers: An alternate form of the bush, Ground Huggers do not have the vertical height of the standard model – reaching a foot at most and designed to make passage by infantry very hard.
- Price: 5 KS per seed.
Tailor Made: A tailor made bush grows only to the dimensions it is designed to – as required by consumer.
- Price: Varies upon dimensions.
Toxic: A tailored extra is that the Hellthorn bush can be modified to be toxic – a variety of toxins from a strong irritant, a paralytic, or a fatal toxin.
Flowered: While the default Hellthorn Bush does not come with flowers there is a modified version which does. These flowers can be in almost any color and take the form of either tropical type blooms or more conservative ones.
- Price: + 5 KS .
The Hellthorn has military applications as a easy to deploy barrier (simply scattering the seeds is sufficient) – and also as a form of personal protection for a domestic home – although a Bush Doctor might have to be employed from time to time.
