Impaling Jellyplate - Carnivorous Alien Plant Low-poly 3D model

cgtrader

The Impaling Jellyplate is a carnivorous alien plant, with the central gelatinous growth producing compounds which smell like rotting fruit to attract small animals; When disturbed, the jellyplate impales the grazer with five harpoon-like stingers, potentially killing or injuring the creature. The Jellyplate then feeds on the corpse or bloodspill by secreting digestive enzymes and/or absorbing decay products through it's roots. In addition to spore production, the flexible anthers serve to keep the main 'flower' clear of undigestibles and other detritus, effectively resetting the trap.
