Plant Person: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

[[File:PlantPeople.jpg|link=Swamp Thing|frame|The technical term is "[[Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism|Sexual Dimorphism]]". [[All the Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary|In Troper]], this would be [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]].]]

 

The '''Plant Person''' is a bridge between the Plant and Animal Kingdoms, being able to talk to plants (or at least understand them at an [[The Empath|empathic level]]) and people alike. Their wisdom can be profound and [[Blue and Orange Morality|alien]], coming as it does from a plant rather than animal (let alone human) point of view. Biologically, he or she is either a motile plant or a person with a lot of plant-like characteristics: they may be able to photosynthesize their own food, drink water from their feet, and even [[Healing Factor|regrow severed limbs]]. If they lean more towards the animal, they probably still need to eat, but it may be "nutrients" or dirt rather than cheeseburgers (though they just might; hey, at least it [[Man-Eating Plant|isn't people]]).

Expect them to have [[Fertile Feet]], and feel the effects of deprivation when removed from natural environments for long. They usually function as a [[Fisher King]] in whatever area they inhabit; poisoning them or the forest has a reciprocal effect.

 

 

Also, when [[Rule 34]] is invoked, expect the being to be called an 'Alraune'.
