Triffid

Triffids are a species of beasts that are basically sentient, ambulatory, carnivorous plants.

Appearance
Triffids basically look like giant, humanoid plants, with long, green, stem-like bodies, long, spindly arms, flytrap/flower-like hands, several roots/vines for legs, and giant flowers/heads, with reptilian jaws in the middle of the flower, complete with fangs, and anther/stamen-like eyestalks.

Behavior
Triffids are solitary by nature, but will get together to mate. The female, like crocodilians, will make nest mounds, and will stay around to guard the seeds until the seedlings grow old enough to take care of themselves, around six weeks. They are carnivorous by nature, and will attack and eat any meat that they can find. However, if one can procure a seed from the mother (not an easy task), one might be able to form a rider's bond with the seedling.
