Plant Aliens: Difference between revisions

* The Czillians from [[Jack Chalker]]'s [[Well World]] series are bipedal sentient plants. They are a lot more plant-like and a lot less humanoid then many of the other examples.

* ''Lukan War'' (1969) had plant aliens from another galaxy come into conflict with the united Milky Way. They were also, for some [[Hand Wave]] reason, [[Invisibility|invisible]] -- and we were likewise invisible to them (both sides could see the others' ''ships'', though). The various species of our galaxy were aghast at the [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|"unnaturalness" of intelligent plant life]], and began calling for a genocidal crusade, at which point the narrator, who'd earlier been scorned as overly militaristic, wound up being the most nearly pacifist person in the discussion.

** In [[Diane Duane]]'s ''[[Star Trek]]'' novel "Doctor's Orders", the Lahit are basically walking fir trees. Upon seeing a group of them, McCoy snarks that [[Macbeth|Birnham Wood finally gets to come to Dunsinane]].

* [[Piers Anthony]]'s ''Omnivore'' is set on a world where fungal life forms take the place of animal life. One species of mobile fungus, nicknamed "mantas" for their shape, combines this trope with [[Starfish Alien]].
