Snatcherlyon (SNAH-cher-ly-ohn)

A "flower" (which is actually roots) is found at its underside. The top side is a balloon of sorts, made of thick leaves, using C02 to allow floatation. This balloon is covered in what could best be described as veins, that function to transfer proteins about the organism, similar to the cardiovascular system found in animals, and even have nerve-like axons, that will occasionally fluctuate, causing a small opening in the top of the plant. The roots are a different color, (usually red, but other colors have been spotted), contrasting the green of the rest of the plant. These roots excrete a sticky substance, similar to sap. A stem connects the two portions of the plant, and is decently flexible, able to act as a tether of sorts between the roots and balloon sac. An actual flower can be found on the inside of the plant, inside the balloon formed by the leaves. Pollinators can find themselves in this area by entering through the occasional holes formed when the leaves move, but, when the plant has anchored itself, the leaves expose the flower, providing easier pollination.

The inside of the plant is lined with seeds, and when the time comes, the plant will rise high in the area, before bursting open, possibly violently, scatterings seeds far and wide.

Lives in the air, usually close enough to the surface to be able to capture small creatures, with which it can pollenate and/or digest.

is plant. photosynthesis. occasionally gains extra nutrients from small creatures that happen to be ensnared, or whatever it has anchored itself to, parasitically.

During a spring season, the plant rises high into the air, bursting and releasing seeds.

Occasionally gutted and used as a lantern. Or, more humanely, a lantern is attached to it. Sometimes both. Also, it could be lit on fire, causing a very fast-moving ball of flame, one that occasionally explodes.

The sap provides certain regenerative properties. Too much of the sap can cause acidic burning. This acid can be used to amputate, among other things. The sap can also be used like mortar, providing a sticky surface to which materials can be attached to. The sap, much like slime gel, can explode, however this is not as grand an explosion. This explosion can be very improbable by "sterilizing" the sap, which is performed by mixing it without other materials, such as mud. This sterilization causes the sap to lose its regenerative and acidic properties.

The leaves and roots can detect physical contact. When they do, the leaves twitch slightly, and the roots excrete sap. The roots may also inject themselves into whatever is nearby.

The Snatcherlyon is able to leech off of anything it has attached itself to. Whether it be sand, rock, tree, or man, it does not matter.
