Line 30:
* Cosmo in ''[[Sonic X]].''
* Ayame and Momiji from [[Osamu Tezuka]]'s ''Lost World''. They are plants given intelligence through bioengineering and then grown into a humanoid shape in molds before being covered with artificial skin so as to pass for human. Another intelligent plant shows up in an early ''[[Astro Boy]]'' story, a tentacled flower piloting a [[Mobile Suit Human]].
* The Radish Spirit in ''[[Spirited Away]]''; his name [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin| describes him pretty well.]]
== Comic Books ==
Line 51 ⟶ 52:
== Literature ==
* Dryads also show up in ''[[Narnia]].'' Lewis describes them in great detail. Such as Birch dryads as looking like slender girls with showery hair, dressed in silver and fond of dancing, beech dryads as looking like gracious, queenly, goddesses dressed fresh transparent green, and oak dryads as looking like wizened old men with warts, gnarled fingers, and hair growing out of the warts.
* Ents in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.
* Birdseye, a parody of Green Giant (''See'' [[Advertising]]'', above'') appears in ''[[Bored of the Rings]]'' along with the plant-people he rules, the Vee-Ates.
* Nym from ''[[The Wheel of Time]]''.
Line 89 ⟶ 90:
* ''[[Villains and Vigilantes]]'' adventure ''There's a Crisis at Crusader Citadel''. One of the Crusaders [[NPC]]s is [http://www.patric.net/docfiles/Crusaders-Evergreen_LL_v1.0.pdf Evergreen], who has the plant powers of poison and plant control.
* In ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'', that part of the Wood Elf army which isn't [[Fragile Speedster]]s is composed pretty much entirely of plant people, ranging from Dryads (human-sized, spikey, made of wood) to Treemen (like Dryads, only [[Our Giants Are Bigger|much bigger]]).
== Toys ==
* [[Mr. Potato Head]], of course! Even more so seeing as originally, the idea was to use the plastic features on an actual potato.
== Video Games ==
Line 144 ⟶ 148:
* The [[Green Thumb|Sadida]] class in the ''[[Wakfu]]'' series and associated video game have green hair (and, in the males' case, green ''[[Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism|fur]]'') and brown skin, have literal cabbage patch kids, and turn into stumps when they die.
* Terra Snapdragon in ''[[The Owl House]]''; head of the Plant Coven, she seems to be at least part plant herself, having leaves and flowers in place of hair.<ref>Not that unusual anatomy is uncommon among the Coven heads; Eberwolf is leader of the Beast Keeper Coven, and is a wolf-human hybrid, while Darius leads the Abomination Coven, and can turn parts of his own body into abomination-slime.</ref>
* ''[[Harley Quinn (TV series)|Harley Quinn]]'' has both Poison Ivy and [[Swamp Thing]], and a few original examples:
** Archvillain [[Lex Luthor]] recieves biochemistry treatments in season 4 that - among other things - lets him eat via photosynthesis, making him something of a human-plant hybrid. It is implied that these treatments are having adverse effects on his sanity.
** Also in season 4, Gordon inadvertently creates a clone of Harley by placing a potato that has one of Harley's hairs in [[Why Do We Even Have That X?| a microwave that is also a cloning device]]. Clone!Harley tells Real!Harley that "I'm 5% potato and 95% you!" {{spoiler| although, when she is killed at the end of the same episode, she is reduced to a pile of mashed potatoes [[Black Comedy| (which is then eaten by a group of homeless children)]]) and given her [[Knight Templar]] methods, it seems likely she got those percentages backwards.}}
