#222: The Exiddion Oak

     Alright, time for a new character: the Exiddion Oak! You may be thinking this is the moment Jacob ran out of characters and decided to dive into the pool of aliveness technicalities, only to bring you a tree with an eye slapped on it. But that, my friends, is not the case. For this post, we're heading back to the ol' Graggul Empire! You may remember them as the guys who conquer the crud out of the planets of the JC-Verse using their mismatched nightmare pets. (Or you may not know what I'm talking about at all and think I'm insane, which is why I've got the handy dandy link above. You're welcome.) Well, these infamous Graggulians must've come from somewhere, right? Right. And that somewhere happens to be an enormous sentient tree! This tree, the Exiddion Oak, resides on their home planet and the capitol of their massive empire, Planet Graggul. There, large pods called Nyoggfruits grow on and fall from its great branches, hatching and releasing newly born Graggulians. Just as ravenous and rotten as your average orcs, all these Graggulians are mentally tethered to the Oak, doing everything it tells them to (including putting their noses to the grindstone to build the refined Parlokks). While squat is known about its origins, or motives for that matter, one thing about the Exiddion Oak is for sure: it will stop at nothing to get all the universe under its control. A lesson to you all: never trust a powerful being with one eye. Alex Hirsch can back me up on this one.
