Spore plant (Fallout: New Vegas)

Spore plants are creatures found in Vault 22, Zion National Park and Big MT in 2281. 
==Background==
==Characteristics==
===Biology===
===Gameplay attributes===
The plant has two methods of attacking. Because of its stationary nature, its most common attack is a spike projectile which it spits at its enemies. This projectile has a very long range and can potentially be very harmful if exposed to the attack for too long. If an enemy gets too close, the mutant plant will lunge at them and bite with its thorned maw.
==Variants==
===Spore plant===
Found frequently throughout Vault 22, Zion Canyon, and sparsely in Big MT, these creatures are weak and pose little to no threat, even to low level characters.
===Giant spore plant===
A giant and much tougher version of the regular spore plant that is found in some of the caves of Zion National Park and can be sparsely found in the Big MT. 
===Dionaea Muscipula (Old World Blues)===
A unique specimen of the spore plant found in The Big MT, northeast of the Signal Hills transmitter, and is the most powerful variant of the spore plant. It spawns when the quest Field Research is activated.
==Notes==
* Despite being rooted to the ground, pushing them will move them around. Landing a Critical Hit during V.A.T.S. with a powerful enough weapon can also send them flying in a ragdoll fashion. They also can turn their "heads," despite being a stationary creature.
* They can turn around 360 degrees to face the player character should they circle around the spore plant, even though they are supposed to be rooted to the ground.
==Appearances==
Spore plants appear in Fallout: New Vegas and the Honest Hearts and Old World Blues add-ons. The giant spore plant only appears in Honest Hearts.
==Behind the scenes==
* Dionaea muscipula is the scientific name of the Venus flytrap.
==Sounds==
* Spore plant scream
* Spore plant moving
* Spore plant attack
