Biology
Hanging from branches using its tentacles in marshes, it looks like a plant. It awaits prey, mouth wide open. It attracts prey with its sweet-smelling saliva, then chomps down.
It takes a whole day to eat prey. It walks around on its tentacles in search of a tree branch where it can dangle and ambush prey. Though this is a plant Pokémon, it has a gluttonous and unruly temperament.
