Mirror-Ball Plant

Mirror-Ball Plant
The Mirror-Ball Plant, or Ixiolirion Marliacea, is a rare carnivorous plant that can be found growing in the Mystic Forest or Enchanted Jungle.

General Information
The Mirror-Ball Plant usually stands between 3 and 6 inches above the ground. It is a spherical plant on a short, light-colored stalk. The sphere is split into many plates and is donned with a multitude of vibrant colors.

Name Origin
The Mirror-Ball Plant received its name due to its shimmering, colorful appearance, much like a mirror ball.

Further Information
The Mirror-Ball Plant is a carnivorous plant that secretes a sticky, pungent, brash, toxic ooze. When an insect lands on the plant, it is unable to escape, and is digested externally.

The Mirror-Ball Plant is made an even more fortunate hunter by its bioluminescence. This is because it attracts fleets of nocturnal insects that are attracted to light, such as moths.

Surprisingly, the Mirror-Ball Plant is harmless to the touch of a person, as long as the contact is rather brief. However, ingestion of the Mirror-Ball Plant is incredibly dangerous. Due to its sticky residue, ingestion often leads to fragments of the plant being lodged in the esophagus. The poison in the mucus can also be very lethal, as it, if not vomited out, will begin to corrode the stomach lining of its predator.
