On Axsuroth Island, not many plants grow since the whole place is filled with ice. However, the Zynthians grew plants that have went extinct and do not exist today. For example, the Zynthians harvested the Eggthaw, which could only be grown from Eggthaw seeds. The Eggthaw plant helped thaw frozen things the Zynthians had. We think that the Zynthians may have eaten at least five pieces of Eggthaw so they would not freeze. Today, we believe that the Eggthaw must have been very adaptive, considering the fact that it survived on a freezing island near the arctic. Another plant that the Zynthians grew was the lopsided Doofunkle. Research shows that the Doofunkle affected the Zynthians a lot. They used the Doofunkle to build, for protection, and food. The gases emitted by the Doofunkle smell so bad, it would knock people unconscious. However, they used it to make houses. They would do a special procedure, which would get rid of the smell. First, they would wear masks that block the smell and they would soak the Doofunkle in ice for at least a week. The ice would absorb the stench and leave a healthy food source. The Zynthians ate the Doofunkle roots, which strengthened their immune systems, something like present-day ginger roots. Another plant was the Boomflower. This was not edible, though they did use it for protection. The Boomflower would pop open when upon contact and would leave pounds and pounds of yellow pollen. The Zynthians found out that the pollen were like parasites. It would latch onto the victim and use it for nutrients source. When the source ran out, the pollen would fall and produce another Boomflower. The Boomflower was an effective protection system. Zynthians would build civilizations near them for protection. After years of war, many of the Zynthians' enemies died from lack of nutrients, stolen by the Boomflower pollen.
