Arch Vine



Arch Vines are very large and thick vines which constantly grow through and above the ground. While most vines climb up structures vertically the Arch Vine climbs up unassisted only to grow back down and into the ground. The exposed portions of the Arch Vine are covered in small branches and leaves and in ways behave like trees and in fact have a small central trunk like trees in relation to their roots. However unlike trees, the Arch Vines get most of their energy from the ground nutrients, only relying on sunlight through less rich soil. The central trunk is also distinctly different from actual tree trunks as they do not grow very tall, instead being the source of it's many vines. Arch Vines can grow to be enormous, typically reaching several meters in thickness and easily reach several miles from it's source trunk. Some societies have used Arch Vines to navigate through dense jungles and forests.
