Smith - Lophaian Plant

Description

Monster plant similar to Yothga that Conan battled. I like to imagine that they were somehow related. Yothga was capable fo interplanetary spreading of its seeds so it is quite possible that Lophai was colonized by such visitors... ;)

"Many were small and furtive, and crept viper-wise on the ground. Others were tall as pythons, rearing superbly in hieratic postures to the jeweled light. Some grew with single or dual stems that burgeoned forth into hydra heads, and some were frilled and festooned with leaves that suggested the wings of flying lizards, the pennants of faery lances, the phylacteries of a strange sacerdotalism. Some appeared to bear the scarlet wattles of dragons; others were tongued as if with black flames or the colored vapors that issue with weird writhings from out barbaric censers; and others still were armed with fleshy nets or tendrils, or with huge blossoms like bucklers perforated in battle. And all were equipped with venomous darts and fangs, all were alive, restless, and sentient."

Clark Ashton Smith, The Demon of the Flower
