Veggie Lamb

So my take on a veggie lamb, as will appear in my comic Fairy Play, is like so. The tree has a metallic, silvery bark and the leaves are like brass in coloration, and the trunk is made up of many fused vines that grew up around the body of another tree which then had all the life sucked out of it and rotted away - because it takes a lot of nutrients to make lamb fruits. The fruits are fuzzy and white and grow year round, though their growth rate is slower when it's very cold. When one of the fruits is big enough and the tree gets a jostle, the fruit falls to the ground where gas pockets on the underside burst to cushion the landing.

The lamb then births its way out of the rind. Since it has no mother for sustenance, it can either be adopted by an animal such as a deer, or it will use its paralyzing neurotoxin bite to immobalize a creature to feed off of it slowly until it is weened and can graze. Being a baby animal in the woods, the lamb needs to be able to hide, thus the markings of spots - much like a fawn or a wild piglet. 

When it grows up, it mates with another of its kind and lays seeds of vines in the ground near a suitable tree. They are sexed like plants and it's rather passive and unexciting - also, they are all "it." There are no rams or ewes, just veggie sheep. The wool has a glossy, golden hue which makes for lovely thread, but it can't be melted down or anything like that. They smell like melons, and the flesh is sweet.
