The largest of the lesser titans spawned by Cambrians, Cornucopiae are powerful verdants that spread bounteous supplies of feedstock to their surrounding areas, dropping both edible matter and seeds as they move. A group of Cornucopiae is called a harvest.

Physical Description

Cornucopiae are the greatest of the lesser titans, standing at a massive 46' (1402cm) tall with particularly portly builds, even among other large puppet types. In place of a normal equine tail is a colossal stalk of plant matter that stretches for a substantial length. Cornucopiae are one of the few puppet types than can somewhat consistently vary in appearance as segments of their stalks grow in or fall off. Cornucopiae also have very large, leafy manes that they use to gather energy either from natural sunlight or the arcane sunlight emitted by Auroras.

Behaviour

Like the Cambrians that spawn them, Cornucopiae don't particularly have any sort of combat presence, as their specialty lies within disaster relief. They are substantially durable thanks to their size and thick tail-stalks, but don't have any particular skills that translate well to fighting. Instead, Cornucopiae will slowly lumber around areas that have been tilled by Cambrian effluvia and constantly drop all sorts of edible fruit pods and seeds as they travel, seeding new growth in the areas they traverse. This is further enhanced by the fact that they also grow smaller subpuppets (Fronds and Coddlers) to help them spread their effects more confined or densely populated areas.

While their natural bounty is generally enough to reseed an area, Cornucopiae are also equipped with verdant magics that allow them to accelerate plant growth in their surrounding area. This allows them to more rapidly reseed devastated areas when needed, further complimenting the abilities of the Cambrians they're sculpted by. It also allows them to help their damaged Fronds and Coddlers recover from potential harms they've received, as they are part plants and respond well to magics that help plants grow and recover from damages.

Genetic Description

Cornucopiae are fairly unique as far as puppets go, as they are half-plant creatures much like Cambrians, Fronds, and Coddlers. Their epigenetic triggers are only shared by their own subpuppets, though their verdant parts are noticeably distinct to their animalian components; to the point that some believe that one should trigger an immune response within the other. Despite this, Cornucopiae never have issues with such a thing, implying some method of determining the self that is beyond conventional biology.

Metanarrative

As part of the package that is the Cambrian titan, Cornucopiae are meant to represent the will of nature in regards to reclaiming its space and dominating conventional destruction. Life finds a way, after all, and Cornucopiae will always be around the corner to seed a new bounty for whatever rises to inhabit the space after some sort of apocalypse. They also expand on the "subpuppets having subpuppets" idea started by Consuls and Agents, with a better reasoning (that being Cornucopiae are gosh-darn big).
