This is a plant with limited versatility, which is unfortunate, but its one superpower is a big one. It is a beast when it comes to impostors: spotting impostors, shifting impostors, being an impostor, curing impostor syndrome. This plant is a must have for a magic cabinet.

Let's begin with an oddity… A few days ago I found a weird caterpillar in the garden, sitting on a tomato plant. Its location was coincidental, I believe, as it was definitely not eating the plant. It looked very much like an inchworm, more details can be found in the journal entry for Bob. What made me suspect it was not an inchworm was that it bit me, then ate a large amount of raw chicken. I put the “caterpillar” in the safe shed and fed it chicken injected with A. densifiourus tincture. Then I kept watch. Through the viewing ports I could see it almost immediately grow to about five inches in size before spinning a cocoon. The cocoon bubbled and roiled quite violently, and then very rapidly burst. All of this within the span of about ten minutes. Out of the goo climbed a furry black moth with red eyes approximately seven inches in length. Its body seemed to be anthropomorphic, but it was hard to tell through the small viewing port. Anyway, it will be living in the safe shed until I know exactly what it is. I’m tempted to say I’ve stumbled across an immature mothman, but that could just be wishful thinking.
