Sha-Ri-Ku is known as the Nomadic Harvester due to its constant movement and critical role in nutrient cycling. As it roams the forest fringes, Sha-Ri-Ku collects decaying organic matter and processes it within its central mass. This processed material is then redistributed as a rich, bioactive slurry that promotes plant growth and maintains soil health.
The creature’s movements are guided by an innate understanding of the forest’s needs, ensuring that areas of nutrient deficiency are addressed. This role is vital in preventing the overgrowth of certain species and ensuring a balanced ecosystem.
