A dangerous grove of toxic bushes border the southern outside edge of the fire pack's territory. They generall y keep the foxes from the human forest out, but sometimes the blood barbs die with the winter frost or burn in forest fires, leaving the fire pack defenseless against the plague of foxes that soon infest their territory. Caution must be taken with the so dubbed "Blood barbs" because of their flaming red stingers which contain lethal poison- A poison that can fell the largest of beasts and for which there is no cure.
