Taxonomy
Ancestor(s)	Fat plant

This descendant of the fat plant has evolved to combat the increasing pressure from nomweed. It has more keratin in its exterior, making it more sturdy. When it grows next to a nomweed, it will wrap around it, ideally squeezing the heart and constricting blood flow in order to kill the nomweed. It then sends roots into the nomweed to absorb its nutrients. When it does not grow around a nomweed, it instead just climbs up piss trees or rocks like a vine. This has killed the nomweed off in the Oofle Jungle, though it still has a population in Oofle Forest.
