Trivia

• Limpwurt may be named after limpwort, an alternative name for Veronica beccabunga.
• Limpwurt roots used to look identical to arcenia roots, until an update around 2005 gave them their current appearance.
• According to the official bestiary (now removed), hobgoblins often chew limpwurt roots, which may be a reference to the common drop of these roots for hobgoblins.
• The minitrice pet use them as food, which may be related to limpwurt roots being a common drop of cockatrices.
