Cactus controlled the area he lived in with creeping vines, sharp thorns, poisonous berries, sleep-inducing pollen, and hallucinogenic plants. The plant monster lurked in the shadows, nurturing and protecting, seeking vengeance on anyone who dared harm his home.

His vines followed by their feet, inspecting and preparing traps, in case they decided to harm the unusually lush desert.
