Oh my! Ramul is a death trap island for shrogs.
Notably, Eeyore Stalks probably still exist on the tiny Coolsteph Islets landmark. Driftwood Isles protocol of giving landmarks specific species lists on the ecosystems page would be appropriate.
When you say "use the corpse as nutrients", do you mean "eventually, when it has become heavily decayed sludge or humus" or "surprisingly fresh", like carnivorous or protocarnivorous plants?
I know "hedera" was meant to be a reference to ivy, but with the nigh-monstrous description, I at first assumed it was a reference to the kaiju Hedorah. (Though if anything, Biollante would be more appropriate.)

"Shorg species on the island have seen a dramatic drop"
I wanna make shorgs

Congratulations, Colddigger. You spotted a typo even I, the dedicated typo-checker, did not notice.
It's amusing hat you want to make "Shorgs" just to see their numbers drop. What would that be? A shrog descendant, or some convergently-evolved, distantly-related being?

Probably just some joke relative
The image is labeled 164. Are shrog tails sensitive enough for calcium oxalate to be a big problem for them?
To quote Wikipedia,
"Vanilla plants exude calcium oxalates upon harvest of the orchid seed pods and may cause contact contact dermatitis."
Judging by Twineshrogs, as a proxy with some possible differences:
"[their tail saws are] mostly bone and keratin with very little non-mineralized living material".
If this is true for other shrog species, the burning sensation might not be much of a deterrent...until the shrog handles the wood, in which case it might cause contact dermatitis on the hands. (For comparison: agave information.)

I would imagine the latter, maybe even evolving from a Neoshrew...
As a defense, when cut this thing will attempt to release a cloud of spores, so the shrog would be effectively coated in it the moment they chop if the Ramulbane is thick enough. Even if they don’t have the ammo, like Coolsteph said they’d be burned the moment they try to handle the wood
