Description Victreebell's are interesting plants.

They live both in trees and on the jungle floor. They hang from the vine on their 'chin' up side down from strong branches, and people have adopted this image as what they actually look like.
When they lay on the floor their vine acts and an arm and can move very fast, pulling creatures into its 'mouth' trapping them inside to be slowly digested, by closing the large but strong leaf over the hole.

They also eat and pollinate by the use of insects and lure them in by wiggling the white appendages above the 'mouth'. These have often been mistaken for teeth but as a true plant, it cannot have teeth.

It can move along the floor and climb but at a slow pace. Once they have captured some animal inside, it drags itself to the nearest tree. if the prey were to escape it would be within this time as it uses a lot of its energy to move, however if the Victreebell reaches a tree and pulls itself up using its vine then there is no chance for escape as it essentially becomes a bag with a tied fast top.

hope you like it
