“One with the leaves and the dirt, able to read the writing in bark or whisper through spores on the wind. Imbued with the power to command these forces to defend the natural world.”

— Glen Lakin on Bluesky

Nature is an Elemental Power in the Merged Realms that is derived from the Source Dragon of Life. It is associated with the colors forest green and brown and corresponds with the Nature Dragon.

Users' abilities

• Chlorokinesis/Ecokinesis - The user can create, communicate with, and control plants/nature (such as vines, woods, trees, etc.) and parts of plants (leaves, roots, thorns, seeds, etc.) for a variety of purposes.
  • Plant Growth - The user can grow plants from the ground to create traps or accelerate the growth of plants.
  • Plant Ensnarement - The user can ensnare opponents using plants.
  • Plant Enhancement - Some users can possibly increase any amounts of plants.
  • Chlorogenesis - The user can generate plants, including vines and parts of plants (normal or explosive fruits/vegetables, leaves, roots, spores, thorns, seeds, etc.) usually to trap and ensnare an adversary.
  • Florakinesis - The user can create, manipulate, and generate flowers.
  • Connection to Nature - The user may have a special connection that allows them to read/detect the feelings of the nature around them.
  • Zookinesis - It is possible for the user to manipulate, communicate or empathize with, and read the minds of animals and likely birds or insects (for example, bats, crows, or bees). Bolobo used this in the Zane Attacks! to take control of yaks and make them aggressive.
• Dragon Creation - The user can create a Nature Dragon.

Trivia

• Bolobo's official description says he can control any plants and trees.
• It is unknown whether Bolobo creates vines from his driftwood bo staff or just accelerates the growth of the sprout from the staff.
• It is strikingly similar to Plants, but they are different elements.
  • When asked to Chris "Doc" Wyatt what the difference is between the two elements, he stated that "All plants are nature. Not all nature is plants."
  • Glen Lakin compared a Master of Nature to a general in an army, while a Master of Plants is an ultimate gardener.
    • Moreover, he stated a Master of Nature can sense a section of forest in distress from miles away, while a Master of Plants can grow a flower that might have a unique feature such as the bubble bushes in the Mother Garden.
• In the non-canon comic, Zane Attacks!, Bolobo uses Nature to make yaks more aggressive. This makes this book the only installment that shows Nature's capability of controlling animals.
