Eliphos 003
:: Species Name: Trilus Plant (Tribulus Venenifer)
:: Date Found: 6/21/2031
:: Written by mtomczek
Description: The trilus plant is a large leafy green plant that is often found in shady, overgrown areas. Know to grow in "packs" the lethal trilus plant feeds on small mammals and sometimes lizards that happen into its path. First found in the deep jungles of Eliphos, the trilus plant uses a decoy system to lure its pray in. Large green leaves(sometimes 3 feet long and 2 feet wide) at its base, and bright beautiful flowers at its center, often draw creatures in for a snack. Little known to these wandering animals, the jungle floor is covered by the poisonous "tentacles" of the trilus plant, which when dormant appear to be vines or roots. The lethal weapons of the trilus, these tentacles have small razor sharp spines on the undersides, which are used to grasp the pray, while injecting its neurotoxin. Once the prey has been immobilized, the trilus opens its center and begins to feed, slowly digesting the food through a series of acids and muscular contractions. The internal workings of the trilus are still unknown to any scientific institution, but it is believed to have some sort of stomach, or internal "sack" to contain its food while digesting. Also the exact size of the trilus is unknown because a complete specimen has yet to be successfully dug up and examined. Some researchers have a theory that it is in fact either not a plant at all, or a symbiotic parasitic organism. The plant survives on the creature, and the creature uses the plant to obtain food.
