Doom Berry

What flavor is that?

Well, it doesn't really exist, but if it did , I'd expect it to taste sweet at first. Not a piercing sweet like a candy, but a natural sweet, something that you'd expect from a fruit. Though, it would encompass greater intensity with a bit of tart, after all it is a berry. The great taste would be subtly powerful, and would cause people all over the globe to harvest the plentiful berry. Unknowingly, it causes addiction to those fortunate enough with the resources to procure the special berry. The more the berries are devoured, the more that its host body craves it. At advance addiction, the body only thinks to gather more berries. Cheating, stealing and other 'immoral' behavior is not an obstacle for the host body. With the rise of advanced addicts, cultural norms change. Society splits into armies who's only two goals are to protect the berries they control and to gain more berries. Intellects will criticize the actions of addicts, and call for mass disarmament of those who are foreign to their to land, but never will they criticize the berry, who's subtle flesh is burned into their mind. The fighting repeats itself for centuries, until the berry vanishes. The centuries of fighting has choked any communication between factions. Armies call for an all out assault on each other. All but the wealthiest army are destroyed. Still, without a single precious berry in sight, infighting in the last faction causes their destruction. They are left to small clans where, shortly after, the berry consumes them.
