Name: Crystallicis (Krystallifoinika alatiphilos)

Height: 50 feet if standing straight up, 30 feet when flopped over, 70 feet including roots
Length: ?

Weight: 5 tons

Base DNA: Coconut palm, common hazel, Isotelus rex, Pennsylvania firefly, Mexican aster

Abilities: Glowing

Weaknesses: Top heavy, can be killed by fire, drought or frost, dies if uprooted

Defenses: Tough bark

Special Attributes: Glowing

Description: A palm tree with green calcium carbonate crystals instead of leaves. It also has two small rings of crystals on its trunk. The crystals glow with a soft yellow or orange light.

LOGI Info: Crystallicis live on sandy beaches, usually growing in clusters of 20-100 individuals. Due to having crystals instead of leaves, they are safe from most herbivores, although there are some that feed on their bark or roots. Their crystals have living tissue at their centers, and contain chlorophyll, allowing the plant to absorb sunlight. They constantly glow, but their glow is too faint to be visible by day, and can only be seen at night.
Crystallicis are very top heavy, and as they grow, they eventually get so heavy that they flop over. At this point, they stop growing, since if they did, their crystals would end up too close to they ground to absorb enough sunlight. If a group of Crystallicis are growing together, they will collide with each other when they begin to topple over, and each tree will be supported by its neighbors. This allows them to continue growing upwards. This eventually forms a grove of Crystallicis, with a crystal ceiling supported by their trunks.
Crystallicis are extremely salt resistant, so they can grow even below the high tide line. They are wind pollinated, and once a year, during the late spring and early summer, they will grow catkins and release their pollen in large clouds. The catkins will grow into large, hard nuts, which resemble coconuts, but are shaped more like hazelnuts. Their interior is soft, juicy, slightly crunchy and extremely buoyant, allowing them to float. The shell is composed of a thin layer of calcium carbonate, and is greenish brown in colour. Once they grow big enough, they will fall from their parent tree, either onto the sand (If the tide is low), where they will germinate, or into the water (If the tide is high), which will carry them to new locations.

I'm sure that there is going to be some hybridisation between the two forms: a new beast, slouching towards us. I'm eagerly looking forward to meeting the beautiful mutant.

I assume that I'm not allowed to approve my own creations, so could this, Sandsifter and Dustspike be approved, please?

While it'd be a good idea to ask DF, both of us have approved our own monsters a few times. Typically a good idea would be to post your creature and leave it up for a few days so that another staff member can look at it and so that other members (most notably DG/Flish) can give some feedback as to what works and what doesn't. From there, you're all set to approve it so long as everything's been revised and all problems fixed. ;)
