- A tall tubular cactus found throughout the Waejiran Desert. The long needles of this plant trigger the release of a spore jet when bent. Any animal inhaling these spores will undergo a cascading wave of adrenaline release giving them extreme energy, and the overwhelming desire to run erratically. As the victim runs they inhale the spores deeper into their lungs where they take root, and rapidly spread causing respiratory failure. The victim will eventually drop dead from exhaustion or suffocation. The deeply rooted spores rapidly grow to produce a new cacti sprouting out of the fresh corpse. New young cacti do not produce spores and can be safely handled. Puff Rods contain a powerful hypnotic substance useful for treating many sleep disorders.
