Creature:Chlorinigma

The Chlorinigma is a very cunning creature. It imitates the common Raffa plant, which grows wild all over the planet Goro. Sitting perfectly still, it occasionally sways as if it were blown in the wind. When an unsuspecting herbivore approaches, it lunges at the prey and wraps its frontal tentacles around it, strangling the life out of it while the seemingly harmless-looking flowers reveal their razor-sharp teeth, which cut into the flesh of the prey and devour it.

Chlorinigma mass-produce chlorophyll in their veins, which turns their smooth skin green like the Raffa flower. Its leaves allow it to sit motionless for months at a time. During times of famine it can survive by basking in the sun's rays to absorb nutrients. Meat allows it to absorb vital protein. The way one can tell the difference between the Chlorinigma and the Raffa flower it resembles is the number of petals on the flowers.

If there are six petals on the flowers, it is a geniune Raffa flower. If there are five, it's a Chlorinigma. Sadly, by the time one is close enough to examine the flowers, it is usually too late. Chlorinigma have no true skeleton, and stay upright by its cells being similar to plant cells- rigid cell walls keep it straight. It sits partly buried in the ground to keep its legs hidden from view.

Chlorinigma cannot see because they have no eyes, but they do utilize vibrations in the ground to determine the location of prey. For flying creatures, it has a keen sense of smell which allows it to tell the location of flying prey.
