Tzengua Flower

Tzengua flowers lack a special name for them (except in the Old Zaderic language), and are thus exactly what the name indicates--flowers that grow on the heads of Tzengua. While certain leaves, petals, and other parts are used for medicinal purposes, sometimes including the pollen from a male Tzengua, the most popular use of these flowers is by the Tzengua themselves, where they are used as a weapon and sometimes a shield. The notable durability makes them such an effective weapon.

The flowers of matured adults are the only ones that are detachable. It has loose roots that weave through the grasslike 'hair' on their heads, intertwining to the point where it will stay on and receive nutrients along with the rest of the host, but it is easily detachable and replaceable. before the flower has fully matured, it is tightly attached to the Tzengua's head and remains that way until it is bloomed. However, once it if fully matured, the telltale sign is that it will detach itself from the scalp proper, and the roots will instead weave themselves into the Tzengua's hair. Because of the thick petals and knifelike sepals, it works similar to a giant round blade, or even sometimes a shield because of its sturdiness.

Tzengua flowers come in a rainbow of colors, and the colors of the flowers are always the same as their eyes. In the case of Zaderic Tzengua, the color of the flower is what their eye color would have been if they had been born normally. Different colored flowers also originate from different regions. Most colors can be found anywhere, but there is a particular shade of blue dubbed "Serénes Blue" that has so far only been seen in North Serénes.
