The flowers only seem to bloom at night, inducing a transformation in anyone who inhales the spores. The spores of the flower seem to build up in the reproductive organs of those who ingest them and spread through unprotected intercourse, out-competing conventional sexually transmitted diseases.

The spores produced by the Mortifilia induce a high when ingested or inhaled. The Black Spore flower seen in Obscure 2, wasn't originally apart of the Mortifilia family, but rather was grafted onto Leonard Friedman, therefore creating a new Strain of the Mortifilia. Glands located on the roots of the Mortifilia release black spores at night, which seem to Digest the surrounding Flora, and Fauna, and earn it the title of a Parasitic Plant. Furthermore, the Xylems of the plant were found to be completely dry, meaning the Mortifilia doesn't absorb water like most plants do through it's roots. For one, the Plant is described as having a fear of light, which is extremely bizarre for a plant species. The Mortifilia's Biology is unlike any other plant species. Due to Leonard's prolonged exposure to UV radiation via the sun, he began mutating. The brothers needed a way to test what they'd created without anyone knowing, and in January 1903 Leonard injected himself the Impromptu Anti-Aging Serum.Īll seemed well at first, and Leonard seemed to have tolerated the Serum well. When they returned to America, the brothers tried unsuccessfully to gain recognition and grants for their work, that was rejected by the scientific community as their experiments were considered too morally and spiritually controversial.

They experimented with the plant in the hopes that its longevity and healing capabilities could be transferred to the human body.

However, during one of their outings, in 1895, they found a plant that emitted spores with youth restoring properties. During the ending of the 19th century, the Friedman Brothers ventured into Africa where they spent a lot of time collecting unknown plant specimens.
