Plant Person: Difference between revisions

* 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]].

 

== Comic Books ==

* The Green Man from ''[[Astro City]]''.

* Poison Ivy from'' [[Batman]]'' is a borderline case, depending on the medium. When she first appeared in the comic books, she was merely a murderous seductress with a plant motif. Later on, she took on the persona of an "eco-terrorist" with a little mad scientist thrown in. In current comics continuity, Poison Ivy has been physiologically part-plant since The Floronic Man's initial experiments. Initially, she only had to ability to exude plant-based poisons from her own body and was immune to all poisons. Through the years, she has developed the ability to control plants (size, shape and movement and, occasionally, behavior if one of her hybrids has a level of sentience) and her physiology has changed dramatically so that she now resembles a plant, down to the fact that her costume, once a leafy one-piece bathing suit, now consists of her own leaves]] arranged in an acceptable fashion on her body. She exhibits more or less plant-like qualities depending on the artist, but these qualities are generally constant. In ''[[Swamp Thing]]'', she is described as having a link to a mystical/elemental being called "The May Queen", but this is rarely mentioned. A link to a force (much like the Speed Force in ''[[The Flash]]'') called "The Green" is implied as well, and she can use this to communicate with others over long distances via plants.

* [[Marvel Comics]]' the [[Man-Thing]], now{{when}} a member of the ''[[Thunderbolts]]. ''

* [[DC Comics]]' the ''[[Swamp Thing]].''

* Swamp Thing and Man-Thing are both [[Captain Ersatz]]es of a [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] comic monster called The Heap.

== 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.

* 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]]''.

* ''[[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]]).

 

== Video Games ==

* 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>
