List of fictional plants
In fiction Audrey Jr.: a man-eating plant in the 1960 film The Little Shop of Horrors Audrey II: a singing, fast-talking alien plant with a taste for human blood in the stage show Little Shop of Horrors and the 1986 film of the same name Bat-thorn: a plant, similar to wolfsbane, offering protection against vampires in Mark of the Vampire.[1] Biollante: a monster plant of titanic proportions in the movie Godzilla vs Biollante. Bush of many uses: a bush native to Vergon 6 in Futurama. Cactacae: sentient races of cactus people from China Miéville's Bas-Lag series (unlike the real xerophyte family Cactaceae). Dyson tree: a hypothetical genetically-engineered plant (perhaps resembling a tree) capable of growing on a comet, suggested by the physicist Freeman Dyson Flower of Life: a flower featured in some anime series: The Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, Robotech or Nurse Angel Ririka SOS G'Quan Eth: plant indigenous to the Narn homeworld, used as incense in religious ceremonies from Babylon 5 TV series. It is ritually burned as incense, and its seeds are a narcotic for Centauri when dropped in alcohol. The G'Quan Eth plant is "difficult to grow, expensive to transport, very expensive to own."[2] Whether it affects other species in this way when in alcohol is not clear, but we know that Narn don't seem to use it as a recreational drug (Londo chides G'Kar for Narns "It's a shame you Narns waste them, burning them as incense"[2]) and that it is illegal to possess on B5 except in religious contexts. The plant is presumably named after Narn spiritual leader G'Quan. Inkvine: a creeping plant frequently used to whip in the slave cribs in the Dune universe Integral Trees: enormous trees from the science-fiction novel The Integral Trees by Larry Niven. They are 100 kilometers long and have a leafy "tuft" at each end oriented in opposite directions forming an ∫, the integral symbol. Kite-Eating Tree: a tree featured in the comic strip Peanuts Krynoid: extraterrestrial carnivorous plant in episode "The Seeds of Doom" from Doctor Who TV series Mariphasa lupina lumina (Wolf Flower): an extremely rare selenotropic, phosphorescent plant found only in the mountains of Tibet from the movie Werewolf of London Plant Men of Barsoom: a race of humanoid plants from the Martian novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs Re-annual plants: plants which, due to a rare 4-dimensional twist in their genetic structure, flower and grow before their seed germinates (from Terry Pratchett's Discworld). Red weed: a red plant from Mars brought to Earth possibly accidentally by the invading Martians in the novel The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells. Snake vine: an odd-looking vine with dusky, variegated leaves hunkered around a stem that winds a stranglehold around nearby trees, eventually killing them from the Sword of Truth fantasy series by Terry Goodkind. It will bite at nearby creatures, leaving deadly toothlike thorns that burrow into their skin and eventually kill them. There is actually a plant commonly called by this name that is native to Australia. See Snake vine Serenna veriformans: a fictional plant that appears in the novel and movie Jurassic Park. There has never been reported a prehistoric fern genus named Serenna or a veriformans species. The word vermiform usually refers to something that is worm-like, like in Vermiform appendix. In the movie the plant is not a fern but an angiosperm. Sukebind: fictional flower in the novel Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons.[3] Tesla trees: large electrified trees from the planet Hyperion in Hyperion Cantos novels by Dan Simmons. They appear to store up electricity inside their body during certain seasons, releasing all of it in huge arcs of lightning from their crown, burning away all that was growing or walking near them and thus getting fertilizer. Tree-of-Life: the ancestor of yams, with similar appearance and taste, from Larry Niven's Known Space novels. Triffids: carnivorous plants which possess a whip-like poisonous sting as well as mobility by three foot-like appendages, from the novel The Day of the Triffids (1951) by John Wyndham. They subsequently appeared in a radio series (BBC, 1960), a motion picture (1962), a TV series (BBC, 1981) and a sequel novel, The Night of the Triffids (2001) by Simon Clark.

In J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series
Bowtruckle Leaping toadstool Gillyweed: seaweed-like plant which, when you eat it, allows you to breathe underwater for a short period of time. You also temporarily grow fins and flippers. Gurdyroot: resembles a green onion. Basis for a foul-tasting purple infusion brewed by the Lovegoods in order to fend off Gulping Plimpies.[13][14] Considered not very original by Charles Elliott, depending on a funny name for effect.[15] Mandrakes: tubers that look like babies when young. Their screams can kill when fully grown. A potion made from mature mandrakes can restore victims who have been petrified. A different kind of mandrake is a real plant. Whilst the mandrake as it appears in the books and films is fictional, J. K. Rowling’s description does reflect genuinely held beliefs about the mandrake, in particular, the danger surrounding its screams. This led to the practice of using dogs to collect the mandrake and the blocking of ears during collecting. The whomping willow: a tree which has club-like branches which can move. The whomping Willow is very hostile in the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets book; Harry Potter and Ron Weasley crash into it with a car, and are lucky to escape alive. There is a secret passage that leads into the Shrieking Shack, a haunted house, underneath the whomping Willow's roots.

In Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere Series
On the planet Roshar (The Stormlight Archive)
Firemoss: A red-brown moss that, when activated by rubbing between the thumb and forefinger, releases wisps of smoke that create feelings of euphoria when inhaled and is used as a recreational drug.[16] Firemoss is highly addictive, limiting its medicinal use, though it is sometimes used to reduce cranial swelling[17] and offer pain relief.[18]
Knobweed: Like most of the plants found on Rohsar, knobweed has adapted to survive the planet’s harsh storms. The reed-like stalk anchors itself directly to stone and the frond found at the top of the stalk has the ability to contract and retreat into the stalk during storms for protection. Knobweed reproduces by releasing fluffy pappuses that carry seeds into the air. The milky white sap found inside knobweed stems is a natural and highly valuable antiseptic used in the field and by established apothecaries.[17]
Prickletac: Prickletac plants are actually colonies of much smaller living buds. As each generation of buds dies it converts to a hard, stony material which the next generation builds upon.[18] Prickletac’s reproductive system is based on this oddity – when a ‘limb’ grows too large it breaks off and falls to the ground, scattering living buds. Also known as Twisted Spine.[19]
Rockbuds: Rockbud is both a general term for several shelled plants on Roshar, including Lavis Polyps, Vinebuds, and Prickletac Shrubs, and the proper name for a specific plant. The true Rockbud plant is a shelled plant containing lengthy tendrils that reach out to lap up water (and occasionally animal blood).[17] The size of fully grown rockbuds depends largely on climate. In colder climates they grow no larger than a human fist, while rockbuds in warm climates can grow to the size of a barrel.[18] Rockbuds are harvested for consumption, limited medicinal uses, and paper making.
Shalebark: A class of stony, fanlike plants often used for decoration and landscaping.[17]
On the planet Nalthis (Warbreaker)
Tears of Edgli: Vibrantly colored flowers that grow only in the temperate T’Telir climate. Highly valuable both economically and magically.[20]
On the planet First of the Sun (Sixth of the Dusk);
Unnamed Telepathic Trees: Many flora and fauna on this planet communicate with a form of natural telepathy. Certain unnamed plants living on the islands that make up the Pantheon send false thoughts of wounded or frightened animals to attract predators, which often fight and leave victims dead near enough to the tree to provide nutrition. These plants are not directly carnivorous.[21]
On the planet Taldain (White Sand Series)
Dorim vines: Dorim vines live under the sand that covers most of Taldain’s Dayside continent, reaching down to the water table where they fill themselves with water as a defensive mechanism against predators – the hard shells of many of the continents animals is dissolved by contact with water. Pouring water onto sand draws nearby vines out of the ground.[22]

In Dungeons & Dragons
The role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons has a number of imaginary, according to Charles Elliott "not-very-ingenious", plant species,[15] as well as "a taxonomy of fungal horrors", which Ben Woodard considers eerie not only for their poisonous nature, but because many have the ability to move.[23]
Basidirond: a giant multi-stemmed fungus creature[24] Hangman tree: a tree that will attempt to strangle anyone who ventures under it[25] Kelpie: a shape-shifting mass of animate seaweed that can imitate a woman or other creatures, and drowns its victims[25] Myconid: a "fungus man"[25] Oaken defender: an enormous disk-shaped plant that lives in dryad groves and assists in their defense[26] Obliviax: "memory moss", a black moss that steals memories from intelligent creatures[25] Phantom fungus:[23] a dangerous subterranean plant that grapples victims with tentacles[27] Shambling mound:[23] an atrocious plant-like creature, also called a shambler[25] Shrieker: ambulatory fungus[23] that emits piercing shrieks[25] Tendriculos: an enormous, savage, sentient plant resembling a huge, tangled shrubbery[27] Treant: sentient trees with human characteristics that typically protect forests from antagonists[25] Vegepygmy: a "mold man", a former human transformed by russet mold[25] Wood woad: a creature resembling big, burly, bestial men made entirely of wood and bark bearing, but without foliage[28] Yellow musk creeper:[23] a creeping plant that drains the intelligence of its victims, killing them or turning them into "yellow musk zombies" under the plant's control[25]

In Monty Python's Flying Circus The following plants appear in the David Attenborough sketch of the last Monty Python episode.
Angolan sauntering tree (Amazellus robin ray). Gambian sidling bush. Puking Tree of Mozambique. The Turkish little rude plant: A remarkably smutty piece of flora used by the Turks. Walking tree of Dahomey (Quercus nicholas parsonus): the legendary walking tree that can achieve speeds of up to 50 miles an hour, especially when it is in a hurry. There is movie footage from the late 1940s in which a walking tree actually sprints after a cheetah. Very funny, although the cheetah was subsequently quite rooted.

In the 2009 film Avatar Plants in Pandora have evolved according to the characteristics of their environment, which has an atmosphere that is thicker than on Earth, with higher concentrations of carbon dioxide, xenon and hydrogen sulfide. Gravity is weaker in Pandora, thereby giving rise to gigantism. There is a strong magnetic field, causing plants to develop 'magnetotropism'. A particularly intriguing quality of flora and fauna in Pandora is their ability to communicate with each other. This is explained in the movie as a phenomenon called 'signal transduction', pertaining to how plants perceive a signal and respond to it.

In DC Comics The Black Mercy is an extraterrestrial hallucinogenic plant used a weapon by the supervillain Mongul. Mongul first uses it in "For the Man Who Has Everything", a story by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons that was first published in Superman Annual #11 (1985) and later adapted into the Justice League Unlimited episode of the same name and for one episode of "Supergirl" called "For the Girl Who Has Everything", where in that episode the plant was sent by Kryptonian Non (comics). Described in the original story by Mongul as "something between a plant and an intelligent fungus", the Black Mercy attaches itself to its victims in a form of symbiosis, and feeds from the victim's "bio-aura". The organism is telepathic, and reads its victim's heart's desire, giving them a logical simulation and an ending that the victim wants, which the victim experiences an entirely immersive, virtual experience in which their actual surroundings are masked to them. According to Mongul, victims are capable of "shrugging off" the hallucination, though some find the experience too compelling to do so unaided.[30]
The Black Mercy is typically depicted as consisting of dark green, thorned vines that attach themselves to a humanoid victim's upper torso, with a set of pink flowers, each with a long, red, tentacle-like stigma, growing in the center of the victim's chest. When Mongul first uses the Black Mercy on Superman, they burrow through his costume and into his body, able to penetrate his otherwise invulnerable skin because, Wonder Woman senses, they are at least partially magical, which is one of Superman's weaknesses. During his experience with the organism, Superman's breathing appears faint, and his ability to sense the fraudulent nature of the simulation it feeds him and fight it manifests as tears produced by his actual eyes. The Black Mercy can be pulled off a victim by a strong humanoid such as Batman, and Mongul uses special protective gauntlets to handle the plant safely.[30] Superman is not able to awaken from the Black Mercy's simulation without help from Batman, though Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan are both able to do so in a subsequent storyline when they are both trapped by the same plant, as this meant that the two were sharing an illusion and Hal's strength of will caused Oliver to experience what Hal believed was his friend's greatest desire rather than Oliver making the choice himself.[31]
In the video game, Injustice 2 Supergirl mentions Black Mercy in pre-battle dialogue with Scarecrow. She states dealing with him is no different than dealing with Black Mercy, causing Scarecrow to ask her what is Black Mercy out of curiosity, causing Supergirl to describe it as an evil space plant.
Characters who have experienced the Black Mercy include:
Superman sees himself on a still-intact Krypton with his biological parents, married to a retired actress named Lyla, and a son named Van.[30] Batman envisions a life in which his parents were not murdered during his childhood, and he is married to Kathy Kane.[30] Mongul envisions a life in which he successfully kills Superman, before setting out across the universe, killing all of his enemies, entire populations kneeling before him amid his destruction of countless galaxies.[30][32] Green Arrow envisions a life in which he is married to Sandra "Moonday" Hawke, and in addition to their older son Connor, they have a younger son, and a newborn third. When Mongul uses the Black Mercy on him, Green Arrow was caught along with Hal Jordan, with the result that he saw what Hal believed would be his perfect life.[31] Hal Jordan envisions a life in which his parents and his siblings are present in his life, and Sinestro is a friend who fights by his side as a member of the Green Lantern Corps. When Mongul uses the Black Mercy on him, Jordan was caught in the same illusion as Oliver Queen, which resulted in Jordan creating what he believed would be Queen's perfect life rather than Queen experiencing his own idea of a perfect life, allowing Queen to see through its simulation and thus awaken from it.[31]

List of alien races in Marvel Comics
Overview There are countless different extraterrestrial races in Marvel Comics universe. The vast majority are humanoid in structure.
Galactic Council The Galactic Council is the assembly of numerous leaders of different alien empires across the universe (including other dimensions like Asgard or the Negative Zone) created to deal with different matters of the universe.[1]
Major races A few alien races have had considerable "air time" in various Marvel Comics publications over the years, having a near-constant presence and/or major crossovers and storylines involving them. This includes:
Badoon The Badoon (first seen in Silver Surfer #2) are a race of reptilian aliens that are notable for living under strict gender segregation, resulting in two separate societies: the Brotherhood of Badoon (ruled by a "Brother Royal") and the Sisterhood of Badoon (ruled by a Queen).
Beyonders The Beyonders (first mentioned in the team-up comic Marvel Two-in-One #63) are an enigmatic and virtually omnipotent extra-dimensional race of entities powerful enough to collect planets. They are unable to leave their own dimension and have never been observed by any being of the Earth dimension and to interact with the Earth dimension they must operate through agents.
Brood The Brood (first seen in Uncanny X-Men #155) are a race of insectoid, parasitic, extraterrestrial beings.
Celestials The Celestials (first seen in The Eternals #1) have existed since near the birth of the universe.

Shi'ar The Shi'ar (first seen in X-Men #97) reside in The Shi'ar Empire (or Imperium). The Shi'ar are alien humanoids of avian descent that have feathered crests on top of their heads instead of hair. The Shi'ar's empire is a vast collection of alien species, cultures, and worlds situated close to the Skrull and Kree Empires. The Shi'ar are also called the Aerie.
Skrull The Skrulls (first seen in Fantastic Four #2) are a race of shapeshifting aliens that originated from the planet Skrullos. They are the rivals of the Kree.
Symbiotes The Symbiotes (first seen in Secret Wars crossover #8) are a race of amorphous extraterrestrial parasites that envelop their hosts like costumes, creating a symbiotic bond through which the host's mind can be influenced. They are also known as the Klyntar.
Watchers The Watchers (first seen, in the form of Uatu, in Fantastic Four #13) are the first humanoid race to be created in the Marvel Universe[4] and are committed to observing and compiling knowledge on all aspects of the universe who possess the innate ability to achieve virtually any effect desired, including augmenting personal attributes, time and space manipulation, molecular manipulation, energy projection, and a range of mental powers. After an incident with the Prosilicans, the Watchers then took a vow never to interfere with other civilizations. The best known Watcher is Uatu.
