Triffid

Triffid is a monster in the MMORPG Elder Tale.

Overview
A Triffid is a giant carnivorous plant monster located in the Archive Tower Forests near Akiba. It has a large teeth-filled "mouth" in the middle of its head, surrounded by four petals, with teeth growing on the edges, and four green and pink leaves sprout in between them. The head is connected to a thick green body that ends in multiple ground-covered roots. Numerous vines with budding pink flowers grow from its body.

The Triffid is an aggressive monster. It uses its vines to lash and grab its enemy and slowly pull it towards its mouth.

The Apocalypse
A Triffid appears from behind and attacks Shiroe while he, Naotsugu and Akatsuki were exploring the Archive Tower Forests area. The said Triffid is able to reduce Shiroe's HP by half until it was killed by Akatsuki. Another one appears and attacks the group but is stunned by a Nightmare Sphere spell from Shiroe and is killed by Akatsuki's Assassinate.

The Battle of Loka
Another Triffid appears in a grassy area and attacks Shiroe, Naotsugu and Akatsuki. However, it is quickly killed by Akatsuki.
