Polyphagi


Strange, carnivorous fungi, native to a far away island. Tales of such plants were whispered as rumors for years before proper scientific classification. The Polyphagi makes it's home on the dry forest floor, slowly feeding off the of the usual rotting matter which accumulates there. This particular fungus has a strange, mouth-like orifice, and a shooting tongue similar to a Chameleon's with which it uses to catch prey. Although most grow to only a few feet, larger specimens have been shown to reach 30 feet or more.
