(urth) Silk's Origin

>James Wynn: How does an inhumi become a vine?

I'm thinking James' question might have had a whimsical tone rather than being meant as a strict, 
literal query but I do think you are right Marc. Thus the "secret of the inhumi". Vines/lianas don't
engage in social pathology such as lying and manipulation. They got that from us.  How do you think 
the reptile/amphibian aspect of inhumi got incorportated?
 
Does the multi-head/multi-limb aspect of the Neighbors reflect a tree origin?
