The Puckerberries are a species of sour fruits that are so sour, they can make one's body implode. They're also a key ingredient in puckerberry squart tarts.
Biology[]
They normally resemble any other fruit, but once they invade one's mouth, they instantly become sentient, and grow arms, legs, torsos and facial features. They also possibly have a fast reproduction rate, as eating just one of them creates an entire army. They are harvested from puckerberry trees, but doing so is a dangerous and delicate process, as its juices are implied to be explosive.
Culture[]
If a larger creature were to eat a Puckerberry, it immediately becomes sentient, builds an army, and proceeds to conquer the host's mouth, enslaving any Tastebuds that live amongst them for their own needs. They follow under a hierarchy, many subjects following under a singular leader known as the Puckerberry Overlords, which are made up of a king and a few closer subjects.
How to Harvest a Puckerberry[]
To harvest one, one must wear a hazmat suit, and pluck it with tongs at the moment of maximum ripeness. Be sure to cut the green stem, NOT the red stem!
Side Effects of Eating a Puckberry[]
- Puckering lips
- Uncontrollable eye watering
- The Jitters

- And just when you think it can't get any worse. Your entire head puckers until your body implodes.
