Monster Type: Companion Pet
Magic Type: Wood
Extra:
Flora Serpents are native to Erionok's mangroves and are quite common. However, you may not notice they are there at all, unless you look closely. They coil around themselves underneath their petals so that they appear as is they are mere flowers. When they feel threatened, they release a pollen from their flower as self defense. What the pollen does depends on the breed. Napalm pollen burns whatever it touches. Swamp Lily pollen puts anyone who inhales it to sleep. Blood Blossom pollen acts as blood thinner when inhaled or ingested. Love Child pollen will cause hallucinations if inhaled. Most Flora Serpents will flee after releasing their pollen, however Blood Blossoms are aggressive and will attack. This can be a problem because thanks to their pollen wounds will bleed a lot more and won't heal nearly as quickly. Many people will hunt these serpents to harvest their pollen for various purposes. The most popular is the Love Child pollen as it is illegally sold as a drug throughout all of Rapsodine. Flora Serpents reproduce like flowers using their pollen to fertilize the stigma of another serpent. All Flower Serpents are in fact Hermaphroditus as they have both a stigma and stamen, however they never self pollinate.
