Society: Crep are found in still freshwater, along shores, and in moist, temperate climates. They migrate slowly, killing off local animal life and leaving a "trail" of crep seedlings in their path. Immature crep plants grow rooted for a season before gaining mobility and moving off on their own in search of prey.
