Aucaio

The Aucaio tree is a large deciduous hardwood tree native to some regions of Kheeban. The aucaio tree is covered in a dark grey bark, with deep burgundy wood, and luminous V shaped purple leaves. It is one of the most efficient producers of oxygen among Kheeban's flora. However, the wood, sap, and leaves of the tree contain one of the single most deadly neurotoxins in the known universe. Thus far, no living creature seems to have even the slightest resistance to the tree's toxin. Through kiln drying, the toxins can be purged from the wood, and it is a highly valuable hardwood. The tree has been revered as a sacred symbol of both life and death among the Veyluu for millennia. A number of these trees were transported to a currently nameless planet as part of a terraforming effort.
