Sandgrass

Sandgrass is a genetically engineered plantform created by the Luminoth and cultivated at what is now known as the Agon Wastes. It is a highly nutritious crop, similar to wheat, specially designed for areas of hot climate, like Agon. Sandgrass can grow in any soil, or even rock or sand, because the Luminoth designed it to obtain all of its energy from sunlight. After the fertile plains were destroyed when a Phazon Leviathan crashed into Aether, virtually every sort of plantform in Agon was burnt, except for the hardy Sandgrass and the Agon Bearerpod.
