Plants
From Wings of Fire Fandom Mirror
Below is a list of all known fictional plants from the Wings of Fire series.
Pyrrhian plants
All known plants of Pyrrhia.
Medicinal plants
- Smokeberries: a type of berry found in the Rainforest Kingdom. They are used by RainWing medics to put patients to a deep sleep and cause hallucinations.[1]
- Swordleaf root: a root that helps with headaches, typically used by SandWings.[2]
- Brightsting cactus: a cactus, the juice of which can cure SandWing venom, found all over the Kingdom of Sand.[3] It is often sold by merchants in the Scorpion Den.[4]
Other plants
- Dragonflame cacti: cacti that can explode when it comes in contact with fire,[5] growing only in high altitudes.[6] They are spike-studded spheres that have been described to appear odd-looking and brownish-greenish-pink in color. According to one SkyWing in Possibility, they are quite difficult to grow,[7] and they shoot little balls of thorns when they explode.[8] The seed pods, which are about the size of a rainforest frog, are blackish-brown, with a bright green interior and sharp thorny exterior.[6] They were first seen in The Lost Heir and formally named in Moon Rising when Sora used one in the history cave's explosion.
Pantalan plants
All known plants of Pantala.
Medicinal plants
- Several dark green leaves are chewed up and spat onto a bullet ant's wound to relieve the stinging. This was used by Librarian.[9]
Poisonous plants
- Fume emitting flower: A flower "the size of a stingray and the color of moonlight," capable of knocking a dragon out with deadly fumes when crushed.[10] This was used by Cricket to knock out a HiveWing guard in order for her, Sundew, and Blue to sneak into Wasp Hive in The Lost Continent.
- Waxy plant: A branch with waxy red leaves that emits a suffocating, paralyzing, reddish smoke when burnt. This was used when Sundew, Cricket, and Blue tried to escape the Temple of Clearsight with the Book of Clearsight in The Lost Continent.
Carnivorous plants
- Venus dragon-trap: a plant that grows in the Poison Jungle, resembling the real-life Venus flytrap. It attracts and consumes dragons using an alluring smell. It looks like an enormous pink open book[11] and has a dark green body with a dark blue interior.
- Pitcher plant: a dragon-sized version of pitcher plants that resemble long green sacks[12] with stripes of dark pink around the top where the 'mouth' is. Pitcher plants contain acid and dark pink slime to prevent their prey from crawling out. There are also large thorns at the top.
- Waterwheel: a dragon-sized version of real-life waterwheels. When touched, a waterwheel closes around its victim, drowns them, and digests its meal.
- Sundew: a dragon-sized version of real-life sundews.
Other plants
- 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.
- Roridulas: a dragon-sized version of real-life roridulas. Described as 'sticky death shrubs' by Willow[13], they cause dragons to be stuck in place until they are killed by assassin bugs.
