Legend

this small, mobile plant is native to the planet Binaros. They stand about a half-meter tall, and move about on thick, fleshy tendrils. The have an extendable sac in their midsection, which is used to hold water. They have a needle-like appendage that is used to extract water from any source. These appendages can also be used in defense, and the feeder is capable of consuming a target's blood to obtain sustenance. The mobile plants are actually drones which are spawned to bring food to a mother plant, but they have no true intelligence. They act solely on environmental stimuli. The mother plant is a noturnal bloomer, and is incapable of movement. The mother is quite large, appearing to be a ball-shaped mouth filled with tooth-like thorns. It is anchored to the gorund by six short taproots and a network of thinner roots. The plant has an averge life cycle of about two standard weeks.
