Distinguishing
Features: Has
two legs, with fury oval shaped body. A long flappy crest comes up ist
back ending on top of hits head-area. There is no head as such, besides
the oval furry body, but instead it has on it’s front 3 blossoms each
with a pair of tiny eyes at
the bottom of it. It acts just like meat-eating plant. The
way they hunt is by sendng out a high-pitched dazzling shrill scream
accompanied by a sweet smell to lure it’s prey to settle at the centre
of it’s blossoms. The petals of the blossoms are of a fibre-mix of
human and plant tissue. It closes it’s petals to catch the prey.
Inside the blossom is a mouth with 3 triangular sharp teeth. The
male’s blossoms are green, the females blossoms yellow. They reproduce
by the male spraying his seed at the furry tummy region, where a pouch
is hidden and where the eggs grow, once fertilized into small screamers.
When they reach the half size of an adult, they leave the pouch.
