This Kreature is commonly farmed as a food crop. The cultivar which exists today has been so extensively modified through genetic modification and selective breeding that it no longer resembles its wild ancestor (which is now extinct and was 1/10th of the size.) However, it still retains a self-preservation instinct, anchoring itself to the dirt with its roots and hands and stiffening its leaves, which have tiny serrations along the edge. The trick to harvesting a Vegeroot is to pull it out with a single strong yank before it knows what's happening. Originally grown in open fields, these days they're mainly grown indoors in hydroponic farms.
