The subject of this article is not named in-game.
The current title is from the game's internal data.
A Planteater[1] is a carnivorous species of plant. They are large flowers with four petals, growing out of long, thick stems that bend and are lined with scales. The flower buds are lined with long red leaves as well. Planteaters are found in the background of rooms on Ghavoran on ZDR, and appear to grow out of fissures in the ground. Squelching noises can be heard if Samus stands near them.
One Planteater can be seen devouring a Deer on Samus's first visit.[2] They cannot be harmed by Samus's weapons, and they will not try to hurt her either.
Artwork of Ghavoran published in Volume 10 of the Metroid Dread Report includes what appear to be early versions of Planteaters. These plants have thicker, more bulbous buds and larger mouths than the Planteaters in-game.
