Flytrap leshies are particularly violent leshies corresponding to carnivorous plants.1

Appearance

In addition to the central flytrap that serves as its head, a typical flytrap leshy has two additional, smaller flytraps that serve as its hands. More powerful flytrap leshies exist with greater numbers of heads and hands. A typical flytrap leshy is two feet tall and weighs 20 pounds.1

Ecology

Flytrap leshies have to be grown in wetlands and are fed a small pile of insects in order to emerge. Unlike most other leshies, flytrap leshies are carnivorous, preferring insects, and offering it a rare insect to eat is one of the few ways to placate a flytrap leshy.1

Flytrap leshies represent the harsh but necessary cruelty of nature. When necessary to protect their homes, flytrap leshies start controlled fires, relying on their fire resistance.1

Society

Flytrap leshies do not go out of their way to pick fights, but are eager to face off against intruders, and tend to shoot first, ask questions later. They coordinate with each other so seamlessly that an amalgam of flytrap leshies is nearly indistinguishable from a single creature, but rarely work together with other creatures.1
