A scanned Bloodflower.

Location	Tallon Overworld
Homeworld	Tallon IV
Attacks	Toxic spores.
Weakness	Its own toxic spores; nearby Sap Sacs; Plasma Beam.

Bloodflowers are carnivorous plant-like creatures that live in Tallon Overworld. Bloodflowers launch concentrated clusters of toxic spores at opposing life-forms in order to subdue or kill them. Firing at the spore will cause it to rupture toxic material. If it was near the creature, the Bloodflower will let out a sort of "scream" then burn. In some cases a Bloodflower will be adjacent to a Sap Sac; if one explodes within range of a Bloodflower, it will burst into flames in the same manner as the first method of defeat. They can also be easily dealt with with a charged shot from the Plasma Beam.

[edit] Logbook Entry

Metroid Prime: "Morphology: The Bloodflower is able to eject toxic spores. Toxins are poisonous even to the Bloodflower itself. Three mouth-nodules protrude from the stalk beneath the flower, each with a rudimentary brain cluster and the ability to spew toxic fumes at anything with a five-meter radius. The spores ejected from the Stigma at the center of the flower are sufficient to kill this creature if they explode in its vicinity."
