Crovers

Crovers are a fictional species that appear in the science fiction novel "The Starless Sea" by Erin Morgenstern. They are described as a type of sentient, plant-like creature that grows in the vast underground library known as the Starless Sea. Crovers are characterized by their unique appearance, often resembling intertwined roots or vines, and their ability to communicate through a form of bioluminescence and subtle vibrations. They are guardians and caretakers of the library, deeply connected to its history and secrets. The Crovers are not depicted as aggressive but rather as ancient beings with a profound understanding of the library's complex ecosystem and the stories it holds. Their existence is integral to the magical and mysterious nature of the Starless Sea itself. They are a quiet presence, observing and influencing events within the library without direct intervention, embodying the timeless and enduring quality of stories. Their forms are fluid and adaptable, reflecting the ever-shifting nature of the library they inhabit.
