the rarely seen forest ganji

(part of my book, The Heart of Altari)

of all the ganjis that inhabit the lush jungle planet of n’kombak’i, the most rare and fascinating one is the forest ganji. the forest ganji has the unusual ability to camouflage itself as any plant in existence, even those it has never seen before. in fact, some say that this ganji is made from plants, but this fact cannot be proven due to its rarity. in the olden times, all ganjis were extremely common and lived among the people like another clan of person. however, when trappers discovered that their hides made impenetrable armor, they were killed off one by one until a few handfulls were left. legend has it that they are not as few as the people see now, and that there may be a nest hidden deep in the jungle somewhere - but we do not know yet. the people of the realm still look for this nest today in hopes to restore a friendship with the magnificent creatures.
