Lifestyle
Most visitors to Life Tree expect its vegetation to be rich. Being a tree, naturally it would know what other plants need and how to make itself a good environment for them, right? In essence, they're right; Life Tree does indeed host fruit and vegetable bearing plants found nowhere else in Esmelda. In another sense, they're very wrong. Those visitors expecting to be able to wander in between the foliage and pluck fruits as tasty treats or light lunches are encouraged to refrain from doing so as soon as they arrive. Life Tree's vegetation isn't always meant for eating. Though the fruits are delicious, their side effects are unpredictable: turning blue or floating, or sometimes losing your voice, are all common, and there's a myriad of other lesser-known side effects. Those who still wish to sample the local fruits certainly find their vacations memorable; no one forgets a vacation spent suddenly bursting into song.
Peppo eggs were first found among the fruit-bearing bushes throughout Life Tree. No one knows why, or how, they got there; since they resemble fruit, it's been speculated that they also grew from the vegetation. Though nothing's been found, rumors of Peppo bushes abound.
Since they're fairly active and colored brightly, Peppo eggs are easy to spot in the underbrush. Those with keen noses claim they have a unique scent too, something resembling ripening fruit, and can follow that to the eggs' resting places. The eggs are quite vocal upon meeting their caretakers, and like to hop onto their shoulders for the trip home.
