A Record of Ash & Ruin: The Grieving Lands Book 1: Chapter 6: Hunt & Harvest

The berry of the Galebush is sweet and nutritious, drawing in fauna and adventurers alike. However, unless thoroughly cooked the seed will sprout within a few hours spontaneously from within, causing an almost certain and grueso death.

One such creature was the infamous Sun Bear of the Duskdown Forest who terrorized the local territories for many years before a group of Knight Penitents put it down.
