Extraordinary Life Forms #20, "Early Growth Stages for Blossoming Plant Life"

The little one on our upper left is named Bauba. Next to him is To-Ku. The plant in the middle is named Khyetarah Vyx Mune, and to his left, our right, is Eyeadore.

These little knuckleheads will talk a person to death. They can't shut their mouths for five minutes! Sometimes, when these four are in an especially talkative mood, Maugrimm, their caretaker, has to give them sleeping pills in order to get them to go to bed.

This rare breed of plants has its drawbacks. Although it is convenient that they don't need light, can grow in dark, dry places, and will never need a drop of water, the downside is that they eat more than any other group of plants in the world. They are carnivorous and are very fond of finely ground meat, all of which they consume through Khyetarah. He's their mouth and stomach, though they all help with digestion.

Whenever meal time is at hand for these four, STAND BACK! If you get a finger in Khyetarah Vyx Mune's way, you will lose it!
