Do not be fooled by the charming or innocent look of the Bogspit. The bulbous meristem of the Fortu genus especially is deceiving. Most Bogspits grow only three large (up to 18") leaves in their lifetime, which lasts up to four years. At the top of the flexible tissued organism, a boil-covered burl is actually filled with boiling hot tar (usually around 310°C). Bogspits tend to grow around the shallow edges of tar bogs in the Hejaj Wastelands. They suck up tar through their tough vascular tube and house it at the top of the plant. Once enough steam fills the tar burl, boiling hot tar spews out of a spout. Beware! This tar is also extremely toxic!
