Okay, im reposting the plant i did early, though its changed and was spruced up. ^^;
This was worked on by both me (original idea and concpet), and kaithguy1234 (edited/reworked), so yeah, we both created this "little" plant. Feedback will be most appreciated.hope you like the new and improved version of this plant
Valnic Flower Pod (Referred to as the Siren vine by travelers)
Size: 7 to 26 feet tall. (Though the maximum size is a rarity)
Threat:
Moderate to
mediumThe rare Valnic Flower Pod, named for it’s creator “Isaac Valnic” resembles a bright red circular pod with blue line-like markings running down its body, but when dusk comes it opens up it’s somewhat maw like end to reveal a small vine with a beautiful dark blue flower rising from the tip. The inside of the pod itself resembles the outside of it, save for some darker hues of red. The color of the vines are normally the same as the inside of the pod.
The pods usually grows on very tall trees and dryads near their roots, usually "sleeping" for most of the day until it opens up to feed at night. It feeds by emitting a strange sound that people have reported resembles a young woman crying. This sound is used to lure predators or travelers to the location, only to see the odd flower hanging out of the pod.
If the sound does work, and the prey actually comes within striking range, then several smaller vines adorned with thorns will extend from the inner body of the pod, and pull them down into its body with great force, where it will begin to digest them.
A rarer strain of the plant has recently begun to spring up, using a completely different way of feeding on prey. This strain’s vines pierce the preys body injecting them with a venom that a few people have compared to dridder venom. Upon injecting the victim, the vines hold the prey in place until the venom takes effect. At that point, the vines work almost like a mouth, sucking up the liquidated insides. It has appropriately been dubbed “Spider weed”. Some brave explorers have even tried harvesting the venom from the plant to use against predators. It should be noted that this is an extremely dangerous tactic, and should only be done by very careful, or knowledgeable botanists.
Usually, every two to three weeks, the plant will try to spread its seeds in one of two ways. Method number one is to drop very light seeds that can easily be carried by the wind, carrying them to other trees. Not many actually reach large enough trees, so only a few from each batch, if any, live and grow.
The second method is a bit more gruesome. Should it be full from a previous meal, and prey should be passing by, it can inject the creature, human, or predator with its seeds via vines. Over the course of the next two or three days, the body will start to break down. Eventually, the body of the host will die, and the seeds will break from the body, attaching themselves to nearby trees. If caught early on, the seeds can still be removed from the victim, saving their lives. The earliest symptoms have been reported as one or two small flowers sprouting out of the victims body.
The plant's vines itself are very sensitive to direct sunlight, hence why it stays in its protective pod until the dark hours.
the pod varies in size, ranging from human size to that of a large house. Larger pods are much rarer then the small variety due to being ripped apart by powerful large predators. The outside of the pod is very thick and difficult to pierce by conventional means. The inside is soft and somewhat meaty though, hence why it’s advised for travelers in areas with these plants to carry knives or swords with them to help escape should they become ensnared. Should the vine and flower be removed, the plant will die. This fact has brought several people to the conclusion that the flower may be like the plants brain or heart.
Dryads don’t seem to mind the plant, often waiting still until the plant grab a tight hold of some wandering traveler, and then grabbing them for a quick snack.
