Though most people are at least somewhat afraid of it due to its monstrous appearance, the Petal-Hial-Eda is actually a very gentle, passive creature.
In red, the known range of the Petal-Hial-Eda.

Despite its frightening appearance, this large, eight-legged creature is very passive and non-aggressive in most of its day-to-day activities. Known to reach heights of over two meters, and weights of over 200 kilograms, the Petal-Hial-Eda is known to have a particular affinity for the taste of the sap produced by the Adraso-Oname. Wherever one finds Adraso-Oname, one can expect to find Petal-Hial-Eda. Many resident of northern Corum are unwilling to work on Adraso farms, out of fear of the herbivorous and genuinely harmless Petal-Hial-Eda.

Found in 9 out of 20 Pallisican cities in Corum, this species is common.

Cult of the Petal

One of a handful of species in Corum which are regarded as sacred, the Petal-Hial-Eda is revered by followers of the Cult of the Petal, a radical variation of the Flowing Path of the Pallisican Religion, which encourages its followers to induce visionary trances by consuming mushrooms that grow on the scat of the Petal-Hial-Eda. Followers of the Cult of the Petal can often be found in the Pallisican wilderness, tracking and following Petal-Hial-Eda across the country-side.
