Greer Plants

Greer plants are a species of Britannian flora capable of rapid movement.

Description
Appearing only in Ultima VII, these plants find their habitat in bogs and marshes throughout the land, and are noted for their tendency to quickly spread and retract their long, spirally arranged leaves, which otherwise remain tightly bundled. This reflex, while potentially giving the plant a threatening appearance, is entirely harmless and the plants have no awareness whatsoever of their surroundings. Essentially, just a fascinating piece of flora.

Trivia

 * An illustration of a Greer plant (seen above) appears to have been mistakenly used in the bestiaries of Memoirs of Sir Cabirus and The Book of Fellowship to depict reapers, incongruous with the creatures' tree-like facade.
