Sol's Delight

The Sol's delight is a plant unique to Pandora that is magnetotropic, meaning it is able to detect and orient itself towards a magnetic field. Its large plant body is thick but flexible due to the presence of mucilaginous fibers in the stem, which are specialized cells with unevenly thick cell walls that allow uneven growth of an organ. To the “Delight” of the humans on Pandora, sol's delight responds to the magnetism of unobtanium deposits and grows towards its general direction. This trait has been exploited by miners to help in their excavation activities.
Sol's delight was also found to contain a latex substance with great potential for industrial use. Plants were collected and returned to Earth for agricultural testing, but they did not produce the same quality latex in Earth’s atmosphere.
==Botanical Description==
The sol's delight is a large exotic looking herb that has tendrils which somewhat resemble a squid's tentacles. Its enlarged stem is topped with long narrow leaves. Its contractile roots and flexible stem allow the shoot to undulate.
==Trivia==
*Additional lore can be found in a deleted Pandorapedia entry from The Game: "A hit from this lethal plant will damage a prey's vision. The prey will still be able to move, but the Sol's delight takes advantage of this temporary blindness to try to ensnare the victim with its long tentacles."
*The first part of the name, 'Sol', is Latin and Spanish for 'Sun'
* They are called the Kinglor Forest Sol's Delight in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
