Issue #37104: Cattails have an unnatural glow due to bad normal maps

 
The cattails that grow in the Blackwood Forest have an unnatural glow, especially at night. This is due to them having bad normal maps and vertex colors.

See the attached images to illustrate. A proposed fix for the mesh and normal map are also attached.

Credit to $Yung$ Fattin' for the fix.
