Boom Blossoms

Boom blossoms are a type of perambulating botanical creature. They often live in large clusters in sunny nutrient rich environments, with access to water. They have a leafy body with two short legs made of compacted roots. Their green leaf bodies open at the top to reveal a long twisted stem with a pollen covered flower at its top. They typically have two simple eyes that protrude from two of the leaves that make up their body.

They are typically tame and benevolent unless they or their habitat is threatened. When threatened they approach the threat as they unravel and pull their flower blossom into their main body, creating an explosive reaction chemical and hopefully eliminating the intruder once they are within range. This has the added benefit of dispersing and planting their hard bullet-like seeds. Sometimes these seeds embed themselves in creatures, that will then transport them far away, assuming they survive.
