Chocolate Cactus

This short cactus grows up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall. The asymmetrical stem is brown, and is covered in copious amounts of fine, beige, hair-like spines. The mushroom-shaped body is orange, and is covered in copious amounts of fine, beige, hair-like spines.

It is slow growing, taking 21 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with petals that are brilliant purple on the edges and turquoise at the center grows at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is shaped like a bowl with 32 tightly layered, round-tipped petals. It has an intense scent that smells like chocolate.

The cactus's skin is tough, the brown flesh is rough, and the lime sap is thin and causes severe cramps if consumed.
