Flora:Fytothanatos (squid plant)

Litterally "death plant," the fytothanatos, or squid plant as it is better known, trully lives up to its name. This 8 ft long 6 ft tall predatory plant is one of the most dangerous ones on Nitaria. While at first glance it doesnt look very menacing, its hard outer "case" conceals its deadly weaponry.

Description
A squid plant looks like a large yellow seed pod layed on its side. The rounded end of the seed pod is supported by a trunk of thick roots. The pod portions are diveded horizontally into four sections.

Attack
The squid plant is coverd in fine sensory "hairs" (even the exposed roots), like that of a venus fly trap. But these sensory hairs detect electrical signals, and are not activated by touch. Below the ground, its roots are also covered in sensory hairs, but these ones detect vibrations.
