Maneating Plant

Maneating Plants, also known as Man Eaters or Stone Roses, are enemies in the Castlevania series. They are carnivorous mutated plants that grew and developed a taste for human flesh. They are huge plants that use projectiles of some kind, these range from seeds, fireballs, petrifying skulls, or poisonous gas. They have appeared in several Castlevania games and their general appearance is conformed by a bulky mass of roots, branches and leaves at the bottom which makes them either stationary or almost immobile; a long and highly mobile stem; and a big corolla of curling petals, all in conjunction giving them the appearance of a dinosaur-like creature moving its long neck and attacking by spewing projectiles from its mouth. This effect is accentuated by the red color of their petals, which makes the flower look like a mouth with red lips.
