Gender: Female
Prompt: Named after the Manchineel, which is quite literally a forbidden fruit.When ingested, the fruit is reportedly "pleasantly sweet" at first, with a subsequent "strange peppery feeling ... gradually progress[ing] to a burning, tearing sensation and tightness of the throat." Symptoms continue to worsen until the patient can "barely swallow solid food because of the excruciating pain and the feeling of a huge obstructing pharyngeal lump."

The tree it comes from's sap is so corrossive it can eat through a car, and if you stand under it while it rains, the runoff will blind you. There is nothing pleasant about the Manchineel.
