Carnivorous Plants / Man-Eating Plants have a long tradition in pulp horror stories, especially jungle stories (see Jungle Films (genre) for some possibilities in the genre.)
Description
Typically large plants capable of eating human beings whole, with some parasitic or other exceptions, have a long tradition in pulp horror stories, jungle adventures, and the like. Malleus Monstrorum suggests some stats and other details, but a number of other mythos creatures with detailed entries fit the description:
- Fungus, Vile
- Triffid
- Body Snatchers
- Gn'icht' Tyaacht
- Tree-Men of M’bwa
- Breath-Death
- Kudzu
- Hell-Plant
- Red Weed, Martian
- Plant Man, Martian
- Death-Vine of Xiclotl
