Description

You don't understand. Anythin' these plant people don't infest they fatten up and then turn inta mulch.

I say we take out their food source.

These botani got a few corpses lying around that I saw. Might be a good idea to burn those bodies.

Let's find out if they can infest ash.

Where to go
