Creeping thistle

The creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense) is a type of plant species that is seen in multiple Hungarian Folk Tales episodes. 
== Description ==
Creeping thistles are tall biennial monocarpic thistles native to Europe, N. Africa, and N. Asia. They have small purple flower heads found in clusters as well as spiny leaves that can easily injure any specimen that walks through or around it. 
=== Mythology ===
Creeping thistles have a rough exterior with rough and spiny leaves which, in turn, associates it with aggression, pain, protection, and pride. Thistles are sometimes a symbol of protection and that is their most common title in France, due to its spiny leaves often troubling invaders and animals to get to a certain location.
=== In Hungarian Folk Tales ===
For the first ten seconds of The Little Puli Dog, two creeping thistles are seen waving in the wind before Jesus appeared.
