'Pokeweed' is a male
LeafWing who was introduced in the prologue of The Poison Jungle. A former member of the PoisonWings, he helped
orchestrate the Burning of Bloodworm Hive along with Hemlock, Grayling,
and Bryony. He currently resides on Pantala.

## Description

Sundew describes Pokeweed as a big Dragons|dragon. He is about the same size as Bullfrog, and has a slow, deep voice.

## Personality

Pokeweed is described as stoic and boring by Bryony, and annoying by
Hemlock. He is noted to have a deep and slow voice and speaks
lugubriously. He also tends to repeat his sentences but in a different
format each time. According to Sundew, he lives to destroy the
HiveWings, and does not care much for his physical comfort. Pokeweed
radiates a distinct air of "slow and unimaginative," though Luna
suspects that he may be braver and smarter than he looks, as he was able
to explore the underground caves and memorize the way back all by
himself.

## Biography

### The Lost Continent Prophecy

#### The Poison Jungle

In the prologue, Pokeweed was reviewing the plan to burn down Bloodworm
Hive, staring grimly off into space. He complained about Sundew not
arriving to help and stated that maybe they should wait for her arrival.
He seemed to be very smug about showing Grayling what plants to use for
the burning before Bryony volunteered to show him instead.

#### The Dangerous Gift

Pokeweed was mentioned in one of Snowfall's visions by Hemlock, noticing
how both SilkWings and LeafWings were being controlled. He also looked
for humans deeper in the caves.

#### The Flames of Hope

Pokeweed was venturing in the underground caverns away from the rest of
his group in search of food. Luna sensed him flying towards them, and
then he pinned Cricket down and tried to make her unconscious by
strangling her. Pokeweed then stopped after he was told that they were
friends of Sundew, and said that they should have told him earlier. He
brought Luna's group to Hemlock further in the cavern.

## Relationships

### Bryony

The two are somewhat competitive with each other, even in stealth
operations. Pokeweed's opinion on Bryony is not known, but he attempts
not to notice her, shown when both Hemlock and Pokeweed ignored her
about the greenhouses.

### Grayling

Pokeweed seemed eager to show the plants for burning to the SilkWing.

### Hemlock

Pokeweed doubted Hemlock's plan, and expressed that he would rather wait
to get extra help from Sundew. He mentions she would be able to grow the
flaming vines much faster.

### Sundew

Pokeweed thinks highly of Sundew, stating multiple times that they
should wait for her before implementing the plan.

This would be easier if Sundew was with us. I don't understand
why she isn't here.
