Legend

this plant, native to the world of Ansion, was a predatory species which presented a danger to any warm-blooded species on the planet. The lightweight stalk of the chawix was propelled along the ground by the constant winds which swept across Ansion, and groups of chawix appeared to be simply entwined branches. However, when a chawix detected a warm-blooded creature, it untangled itself from the mass and altered its form to be propelled toward the prey. Instead of bouncing off the prey, the chawix would extend doznes of thorns from its stem, using them to dig into the prey and exude a toxin poison. This poison liquified the body of its prey, and the chawix simply sucked up the resulting miasma.
