* '''[[wikipedia:Utricularia|Bladderworts]]''' are aquatic plants with hollow sacks beneath their roots. These sacks may be triggered to open by prey. Once opened, low pressure in the sac sucks the prey in to be digested.

* The [[breath of evil]] is a sentient plant that can exert its control over any dragon who has consumed it. (This includes ingesting it, being injected with it, and inhaling the smoke when it is burnt.)
* '''Breath of Evil:''' a plant that, when a dragon consumes it – either through ingestion, injection, or inhaling the smoke of the burnt plant – will be able to be controlled by the [[othermind]]. However, since the consciousness of the othermind was destroyed, there is no more mind control.
* Sundew has a type of moss that can "soak up an entire pond," meaning it can hold a significant amount of water.{{Ref|THQ|23}}
* '''Roridulas:''' a dragon-sized version of real-life roridulas. Described as 'sticky death shrubs' by [[Willow]]{{Ref|TPJ|169}}, they cause dragons to be stuck in place until they are killed by assassin bugs.


=== Dragonflame cactus ===

'''Dragonflame cacti''' are cacti that can explode when they come in contact with fire. They grow only in high altitudes.{{Ref|MR|206}} When ignited, the cactus explodes and shoots spiny seed pods everywhere. In a climate surrounded by fire-breathing [[SkyWings]], this was a good adaption as SkyWings tend to release fire quite often. They were used by the SkyWings in the bombing of the [[Summer Palace]] in ''[[The Lost Heir (book)|The Lost Heir]]'', used by [[Sora]] in an attempt to kill [[Icicle]] in ''[[Moon Rising (book)|Moon Rising]]'', and was accidentally ignited by Peril's scales in ''[[Escaping Peril]]''. Dragonflame cacti are sold in Possibility and were used by the [[Talons of Power (organization)|Talons of Power]] to bomb various places in the Kingdom of Sand. The cactus itself is described as an odd-looking pink sphere with shades of brown and green. It is covered in spikes with roots visible on the bottom. Dragonflame cactus seed pods appear as deformed spheres about the size of a rainforest frog. They are covered with sharp, prickly thorns that cling to whatever they come in contact with when exploding the thorns in multiple directions, digging in like teeth. They are blackish-brown, with a bright green interior.{{Ref|MR|206}} The cacti are described to be extremely hard to harvest.{{Ref|EP|99}}
