Venuella

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* s rarely leave their comfort zones and can live their entire lives in a flower cave or a cozy oasis.
** Despite the fact that does not need water, it likes to spend time in small freshwater bodies. During prolonged rains, these creatures can come out of the flower caves, putting their petals to the drops.
* s rarely hunt and prefer to eat carrion or found carcasses. However, they do not mind ambushing small, inattentive creatures or those too clumsy to get away. It has a special preference for insect-like creatures like the Sha'Rei, Viracniar, Momola, and Beezu.
* s will not attack other photovores. They also get along with the likes of Lmakosauruodons and Lus-Adarchs.
* s have several large toothy outgrowths located on its back, belly and tail, which resemble predatory mouths. The inner pink part of these outgrowths secretes a strong toxin that helps the Venuella digest food and defend against enemies.
* can live in large groups, but rarely gather in numbers of more than five individuals. If they become crowded, may begin to compete for territory among themselves. Such rivalry never comes to a fight and is expressed in furious growls and the display of brightly colored body parts.
* When reaches old age, it finds a quiet place and hides its heads in closed toothy outgrowths. It resembles a huge closed flower bud.
=== Artist Headcanon ===
* Due to the slow metabolism, can go without food for a long time. As hunger increases, the creature releases a special toxin whose strong odor lures other creatures directly into the toothy trap.
* s have no gender dimorphism because they are hermaphrodite-like. They breed during the spring and cherry blossom season, shedding toothy shoots from their back. At first, babies are very defenseless, but they grow quickly in warmth and near water bodies.
* The color of the can change with age and mimic the bright plants among which it lives. When several individuals meet, they can show off in front of each other, showing patterns on the inside of the outgrowths. The main color of the body can be muted.
== Appearance ==
The is a two-headed, long-necked, quadrupedal creature with a stout build (excluding its neck) that borrows several traits from different carnivorous plants, most notably the Venus flytrap. Its thick legs are short and muscular in contrast to the length of its body, with each foot featuring five digits each ending in pointed claws, as well as soft pads at the bottom. Most of its body is covered in long, thorn-like spines that appear in rows and/or line the edge of certain extremities. At the base of 's necks is a ruff that resembles the two-lobed leaf of a Venus flytrap, and its tail — which splits into two parts — carries this resemblance as well. Three tendrils protrude from its back which also resemble Venus flytrap leaves, with both the petiole and trap. Unlike the ruff and tail, these structures end in cilia-like growths rather than the rigid white thorns present across the rest of the body.
The lower jaw of splits into Venus flytrap-shaped parts. When held together, they resemble a throat pouch, as well as the pitchers of tropical pitcher plants specifically. Several needle-sharp teeth protrude from 's mouth, and its short snout ends in a beak. On its back are parallel sails that are also lined in spines. The entire creature's body features striped patterning and occasional spotting, and it is colored various shades of green and pink by default.
=== Males ===
Males have three spines on each of their shoulders.
=== Females ===
Females have no additional features.
