Imagoi (イマゴイ) is a sessile type Talyxian organism that has an appearance similar to a mushroom, found deep in the Talyxian biome forests of Magoe and Lower Magoe. There are smaller types within the Vetla regions as well.
While the distribution and use of Imagoi in the southern regions is heavily regulated and is limited to medical drug use as it's known as having a strong psychotomimetic effect in its liquid, Imagoi is an important and familiar resource for people living in the North, especially for the Shaman tribes.
[Note] Due to their inner liquid functioning akin to alcohol, some people may consider it as an equivalent in the Vilous universe, however, they cannot be roughly compared or said to be the same material. Imagoi is a much riskier substance and requires very careful handling, much more than that of normal alcoholic beverages. There are some alcoholic beverages within the Vilous universe, thus, Imagoi is still independent and a different material from the common alcohols. To avoid misunderstanding, Imagoi liquid still could be used for an ingredient for alcoholic beverages. Imagoi drinks as one of the kinds of alcoholic beverages also would be present, though it's definitely to be the illegal products in the Gold Ring nation. However, the important point is that Imagoi itself is not the only material of alcohol equivalent within the Vilous universe.
Biology
Removing the head, there are internal organs including a thing that resembles a gray brain inside, floating in a liquid that functions akin to alcohol. These organs are considered poisonous and therefore are not normally used. Folks would bury them under the ground and take only the liquid as the primary substance to harvest.
The liquid is similar to alcohol, however, it is still not perfectly the same material. It has a strong psychotomimetic effect and unidentified potential risks. When Eltus drink it, they would get some sort of psychic influence that alters the senses with regard to Talyxians.
Agudners usually decline when given the opportunity to drink this, however, if they do decide to try it, the effects are very potent, although the effects incurred are different from that of Sergals.
The "brain" part which is planted underground later grows into a new imagoi.
The liquid contained within an imagoi, will become quite viscous when exposed to outside conditions after a certain amount of time. The processed imagoi liquid which can be seen within the right corner of the gallery on the below section also corresponds to that state.
Use
A small and easy example of how Northern Sergals use imagoi: Lyuca, the Northern Sergal, performing a magic ritual with a cup full of Imagoi liquid.

Early primitive Northern tribes had used the imagoi liquid as an intoxicating drink. It is known to maximize the impact of Miasma on the drinker and induce a state of unified senses with the Talyxian forest. More notably, Northern Sergals who belong to Shaman clans tend to drink this on a daily basis. Distilled versions of this are used in traditional, religious ceremonies. Brave clans also occasionally purchase this substance from the Shaman clans.
As a representative example, from "A Braveyard", the novella, there is the scene that Rain had offered Bergt a cup of Imagoi drink. It is a traditional custom that shamans perform. It serves the function of an easy to perform a magic ritual. By serving Imagoi drink to a newcomer, and allowing them to drink it, they admit the newcomer in as their tribesman. This act doesn't necessarily have any sort of formal ceremonial manner or preparation, at the same time, however, the lack thereof does not imply that it has no meaning behind it at all, either.
Generally most Eltus people, apart from the Northerners, do not look favorably on the consumption of the Imagoi liquid. It is a very grotesque habit and causes unpleasant mental side-effects.
In Gold Ring, the distribution and use of imagoi are heavily regulated and strictly limited to medical drug use under the laws.
On the right-hand side of the gallery, we can see a civilized Sergal enjoying a processed product of imagoi liquid. This product is made of imagoi liquid that has turned to a viscous state, or, there is even the possibility that it includes other kinds of Talyxain creatures originated from northern regions, that have body fluid functions similar to that of imagoi liquid.
Imagoi products cannot be readily used for easy thrills and pleasure within the Gold Ring nation due to legal issues, barring the product from casual consumption as it has been labeled quite illegal.
