We need some good news,
My CV account is in the icy north, so its safe there. Kurfie is way south to the east, south there.
So the Evil Communist Nazi Plant will have to cross a few thousand players before either of my accounts. I'm sure you'll think of something :p

Guys you've got this all wrong, sorry y'all. However lets analyze and add up the different features that have been given to us.
1) The expadition in the Herald that was lost, was lost inside the Melders, these melders kill with a virus or "spores", what produces spores? Plants.
2) The next observation is that the HOC has no obvious mouth but it also has tendrils or alternatively (ROOTS)
3) The HOC is in a rainforest, that is populated by Trees, which have Roots. Which suck up food, this leads me on to my most prominant point.
4) Theres no food tiles around the HOC and that is also spreading, what do roots do? Suck up food and once there is no more food, the roots must expand and grow out to find more food (More tendrils than before originally found)
In conclusion and review, the HOC is a living tree or plant, using the spores to kill predators and threats (US) rapid expansion which means it has an ever growing thurst or hunger for food. With no mouth it must mean these tendrils are roots and are used to suck up the food which then need to expand and grow to keep up with " the hearts" hunger.

I prefer to think it already ate the food in the rain forest tiles, and now has turned to warm..moist...flesh.

I think the 0 Food rainforest is probably to stop people settling cities nearby.

The 0 food has to be some sort of clue definately as rainforest normally does have a food value on it. Maybe this is how far it has already extended. All we see to be doing atm though is feeding it and giving it a liking for the taste of flesh for all species of Illyria.
I know I asked ages ago for a plant (triffid) like NPC, but I was hoping more for one we could kill. At the moment it is a complete 'mystery' it would seem, but with any luck we'll get a clue soon™ how we can kill the evil blighter... so get your torches and pitchforks ready. If the thing dies by itself then we can always use them on LH!
