Special Abilities:
Biochemical Agriculture: Morodins have extensive knowledge of Varonat's plant life, and modify it through their own biological niche in Varonat's ecosystem. By digesting certain plants and spreading their nutrient slime over other plants, Morodins produce new strains of plant food, some more nutritious than others.

Nutrient Slime: The Morodins' prime agent for implementing their biochemical agriculture is the nutrient slime secreted from a gland in their underbellies and spread in their path. Their slime - which changes in nutrient value depending on the Morodin's diet - encourages growth and mutation of plant life.

Story Factors:
Hunted Species: Because the Morodin have no established cities, farms or other signs of a civilization, they are mistaken for wild beasts and are often hunted.
