Tiphone

The tiphone is a marine semi-airborne plant found in the eastern Swoulian Ocean. It is in the same genus as the womagon and the rotato.
==Info==
Tiphones are bulbous succulents with sharp needles. They have a long stalk that rises into the air, with several cupped fleshy leaves along the stalk. They have several organs that inflate with hydrogen like balloons, keeping them floating and upright on the surface of the water.
When a very strong wind, like that of an impending hurricane, blows the leaves, the stalk rises into the air, taking the light tiphone with it. The tiphone rises above the storm system until it passes or the winds die down, at which point it floats slowly back to sea level.
The tiphone's skin is a light, yet tough matrix of closely woven cellulose, with thorns sticking out at the bottom to discourage predators. The stalk is made out of the same strong material to better stand the high winds of the typhoons that frequent the eastern Swoulian Ocean. The tiphone's roots are narrow and sinewy, and have cnidocytes embedded in them to ward off animals.
During the dry season, a single small orange flower blooms on their tip. This flower is pollinated by Flying Froxes, which are attracted by pheromones released by the tiphone that resemble the Flying Frox mating pheromones.
==Trivia==
*They can be eaten raw by Napente, and cooked by Jeligant. All other Complinoids will get severe diarrhea.
