The planet's equator is covered by a forest of immense, spiny, vine-like "trees" with exotic morphology.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} These "trees" had a plated, scaly bark, and seemed to be a [[Wikipedia: Clonal colony|clonal organism]] that propagated by sending off [[Wikipedia:Stolons|stolons]]. In some areas the "trees" were so densely grown their structures formed openings where air was ejected with such pressure it could lift a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR-clad]] [[Spartan]]. These trees hosted a second species of vine that appeared to function similar to Earth's parasitic [[Wikipedia:Strangler fig|strangler figs]], with serrated leaves of a purple-pink coloration. Juniper-like bushes grew in the equatorial soil, on rocky outcroppings, and on the trunk structure of Erebus VII's "trees". The planet had many species of aerial cryptogams, such as mosses, lichens, and fungi.{{Ref/Reuse|h4}} | The planet's equator is covered by a forest of immense, spiny, vine-like "trees" with exotic morphology.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} These "trees" had a plated, scaly bark, and seemed to be a [[Wikipedia: Clonal colony|clonal organism]] that propagated by sending off [[Wikipedia:Stolons|stolons]].

Its native wildlife includes the highly-intelligent [[Angler|Anglers]], a species of large, presumably carnivorous, quadrupedal reptilian creatures; several specimens were kept at the UNSC facility located on the planet. The planet was also home to a [[Space bird|bird species]] which was found on many other worlds in human space, a small bioluminescent flying insect which congregated in and around glowing bulb-like structures contained within the "strangler fig", and small fly-like insects which were attracted to the light given off by [[Signal flare|signal flares]].{{Ref/Reuse|h4}} | Its native wildlife includes the highly-intelligent [[Angler|Anglers]], a species of large, presumably carnivorous, quadrupedal reptilian creatures; several specimens were kept at the UNSC facility located on the planet.
