Ant Blight is a herb that carries a rotten taste that can be found on most types of fruit trees. It has no known effects.


Appearance

An uncommon yet quite interesting plague on most types of fruit trees, (and primarily found in orchards where fruit trees are tightly packed,) the Ant Blight fungus appears as a swarm of tiny, shiny black spots on the bark of a tree. However, its interconnected roots can run fairly deep, as it must be able to drink from its host’s water supply effectively. The ant-like spots range in scale from roughly the size of a mustard seed to the size of a pinto bean. They release their spores around the early spring months, but can also spread through the fruit of the trees they infect. Fruit from trees infected with Ant Blight develop tumor-like growths and other grotesquely mutated features, and taste rotten and disgusting if eaten, like the 'ants' themselves. The seeds from inside these fruits, if planted, are guaranteed to grow trees that are also contaminated by the blight. If farmers notice Ant Blight growing in their orchards, they would do best to hastily cut off and dispose of any branches covered in the black spots before it spreads to other trees. One cannot remove the blight simply by scraping the ants off, for if the roots are still there, they will just grow back.

Usage

Ant Blight serves as a Moderate Earth Symbol representing attachment due to it's parasitic nature. Ant Blight has no has no known effects besides the rotten taste and the infection of the fruit trees.
