The obsidian tree split from it's ancestor, the obsidian shrub. Due to the increasing competition of other flora, such as clusterblades and rainforest carnoferns, in the evolutionary arms-race to capture the most sunlight, the obsidian tree evolved, and grew to be as twice as tall as it's ancestor. To support it's new height, it now has bigger roots that go deeper into the rainforests white soil to extract nutrients from the ground. Also, instead of having one spore chamber, it has three, allowing more and more spores to be produced into the atmosphere, creating an orange haze like it's ancestor. The obsidian tree also grows relatively close to each other, and can grow very quickly, creating endless thick forests across the vast, wet, rainforest. Otherwise, it is the same as it's ancestor.
