Name: Wind's Dragonfly Rose (Layman's name) Drosera piscibus (Binomial nomenclature) Description: A rose-esque flower colored red and blue with petals in the shape of a Hylotl's smiling face, with triangular thorns forming the teeth. Below ground is a hollow, potato shaped chamber (purpose explained in diet). The stem has a small sac attached to it. Behavior: Wind's Rose generally lies dormant, excreting a pleasant odor until a large insect, small bird, or inquisitive sapient perches or pokes near the flower's waiting teeth. Tamability: Can be "tamed". In the right environment it can be cultivated, and repeated exposure to sapients can cause them to stop classifying them as valid prey. Where is it found?: The dragonfly rose can be found on several marshy planets where the soil has low nutrient density, particularly in bogs. Rarity: Uncommon Diet/Method of gaining nutrients and energy: The dragonfly rose is a carnivorous plant which attracts its prey through a pleasant scent, and consumes them by closing its "teeth" on their feet or midsection. Once prey is caught, it is sent down to the containment chamber beneath the soil where acids and enzymes contained in water within the chamber slowly break down food, similar to pitcher plants. Products?: The scent sac can be harvested for use in perfumes, though this can attract insect pests. Reproduction: Cross-pollination using pollinators such as insects and small birds. Size: As large as a rose Weight: As heavy as a rose Lifespan: Biennial Abilities: Pheremone tagging Flaws: An immobile plant. Other: This plant was genetically engineered by Windbringer to be his everlasting mark on the galaxy.Inedibilitude is kept track of via use of pheromone tagging
Just so you know, this is a bestiary app, so you should've reposted it in that forum. I'll assume it was just a mistake though.
