There are a lot of ways to tell the White Hats from the Black Hats, but one pretty good [[A Worldwide Punomenon|rule of (green) thumb]] is that anyone who can bring flowers into existence just by stepping on soil is ''probably'' not evil. This person is not just a [[Friend to All Living Things]] but a potent force for good who is very likely [[The Messiah]], a [[Physical God]], or a credible runner up. At the very least they have a [[Green Thumb]], and in extreme cases are so powerful and so Good that their aura bleeds out into the world as [[World-Healing Wave|a source of healing and growth.]]

== Card Games ==
* One of the features of the ''World of Warcraft'' card game -- Itemgame—Item cards. They can provide you rare items in-game. Two of them has said effect: Trinket "Path of Illidan" which leaves green fire footprints as you walk and "Path of Zenarius (Cenarius?)" that make flowers (and grass) appear as you walk.

== Films -- Animation ==
* Shishigami, in ''[[Princess Mononoke]]''. It should be noted that the Shishigami doesn't give just life but both life and death -- anddeath—and the plants that spring up from its footsteps immediately die and rot away. It seems to make plants go through their life cycle faster. {{spoiler|But when the Shishigami is decapitated, his headless and still-moving body turns into a [[Walking Wasteland]].}}
* The Spring Sprite in the "Firebird Suite" segment of ''[[Fantasia]] 2000'', most likely inspired by ''[[Princess Mononoke]]''.
* Crysta by the end of ''[[Fern Gully]].''
Line 145:
** Herbalists have something similar to this. They get a healing move that, when used, causes flowers and plants to spring up around them.
** The Night Elf Ancients (living trees that are used as production buildings in ''Warcraft III'') apparently have healing ''roots'', as they cleanse the undead Blight around them when they are planted in it.
** And the red dragons, who are guardians of the Aspect of Life, have fertile ''breath'' -- flowers—flowers spring up from where they breathe flame, most notably and poignantly at Angrathar. Some seem to have this trope exactly, such as Surristrasz and his drakes at Amber Ledge, who are surrounded by a patch of grass and flowers upon otherwise barren rock.
** Also of note is Illidan's inversion in ''Warcraft 3'': When he moves, his footprints leave fire.
* Using a Grass Assist in ''[[Pokémon Ranger]]'' causes grass and flowers to sprout from your Capture Line.
