Snapbowl (Captura aquatica)
Alias: None
Origin: Jeyrha (coastal shallows)
The Snapbowl is a carnivorous aquatic plant found in the coastal shallows of Jeyrha. It features bowl-shaped traps that quickly snap shut upon contact, capturing small fish and aquatic invertebrates. Its role in regulating local populations has made it a focal point of ecological and mechanical study in Jeyrhan settlements.
Lifespan
Lives 8–12 years. Matures at 1–2 years. Produces seeds in tidal seasons.
Uses
- Ecological Role: Controls populations of small fish and aquatic organisms; supports coastal biodiversity and food chain balance.
- Cultural Significance: Regarded in Jeyrhan culture as a symbol of cunning and adaptation; studied for its trap precision and fluid dynamics.
- Guidance: Avoid triggering traps during harvest. Observation recommended via remote or submerged viewing tools.
Notes
Documented in the Era of Absolute Expansion (~3,000 years before modern Geba), Snapbowls enhance Jeyrha’s coastal ecosystems. Extant and intriguing.
