Greer Plants

Greer plants are a species of Britannian flora capable of rapid movement. Appearing only in Ultima VII, they 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.

Trivia

 * The history of the illustration is strange. While it clearly shows a Greer Plant, it was used in Memoirs of Sir Cabirus and The Book of Fellowship for the Reaper entry, despite reapers looking nothing like this. How this oversight had happened is unknown.
