* ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' of course, has several species of plant people, including Treants and Dryads.
** Not to mention the Woodling template, [[Up to Eleven|which lets you add this trope to any existing species]], and the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Topiary Guardians]], which are [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|animated topiary sculptures.]] If D&D has examples of a trope, it has a LOT of them.
* In the Glorantha setting for ''[[Rune QuestRuneQuest]]'', elves are sentient humanoid plants.
* One of the mutations in ''[[Gamma World]]'' was Photosynthetic Skin, which allowed the mutant possessing it to produce their own food and heal lost [[Hit Points]] at 4x normal rate if in sunlight. Another option is to be an out-and-out human-shaped plant.
* ''[[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.
Line 140:
* Parodied in an episode of ''[[American Dad]]'' where a hippie wants to become a tree. He is always shown standing in a plant pot and talks about getting surgeries that will turn him into a plant.
* Flora from ''[[Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors]]'' was born from a blossom created by the hero's father Audric.
* [http://www.danhausertrek.com/AnimatedSeries/Lifeforms.html#Phylo Phylosians] from ''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series|Star Trek the Animated Series]]'' are [[Plant Aliens]].
* Poison Ivy in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]'' created artificial plant people to assist her schemes in several episodes (not to mention the episode in which she developed a way to punish her enemies by turning them into [inanimate] trees). After the animated continuity was rebooted, she became a full-blown "plant person" herself, complete with green skin and the ability to breathe carbon dioxide. In fact, Batman once defeated her and her army of carnivorous plants by having all the carbon dioxide removed from Ivy's office, causing her and her "pets" to pass out.
** Then the ''[[Batman Adventures]]'' spin-off comic said that the green-skinned, carbon-dioxide-breathing Ivy was another artificial plant person, and that the real Ivy was fully human and off doing her own thing somewhere else.
