History: Discovered in the jungles of Mimban by the ancient humans who met with the underground Coway and recorded as a dangerous beauty of a plant. The main flower is usually is somewhere surrounded on nearly all sides so prey can't escape. The chemical it releases into the air a soothing scent that was described as something alluring to you more personally. Explorers were warned against it as while it is very large and hard to miss it is also easy to walk into. The long vines that produce fruit like bulbs of processed food it has eaten and the scent all go towards the flowers large maw. As some samples were taken for botanical research and zoos across the galaxy more details such as where the creatures it eats end up. Feeding it the essentials but also ending up in the fruit like bulbs that are able to be used for seasoning if you are really brave or want to give it to a hutt. They would likely eat anything. The rest of the flowers major attributes are that it can starve from lack of food within days. A detriment for long periods of time but its is generally found where food is plentiful however with deforestation if could have animals driven away leaving dead plants in a section of forest. Rumors of larger ones in the deeper unexplored jungles of worlds are always around but most are medium size.
Intent: To create a semi dangerous and beautiful plant on the worlds that can add to the danger's of exploring. an oversized venus fly like trap plant that lures unwary explorers in.
