Truly the stuff of nightmares. All the strange plants in evil biomes don't seem so crazy anymore…

But Elves aren't Vegetarians. They eat people.
So they are humanitarians.

I like fortresses because they are still underground.

I thought the mushroom that oozed blood was quite the creepiest.

It did look kinda tasty tho... like raspberry jelly.

I would lick it... but I get the feeling the universe would tell me "No.  That's disgusting"

That blood mushroom looked delicious...

Does anybody find that strange?

Good to see I'm not the ONLY one who wanted to lick that first mushroom.

Wait, that's not good, that's horrifying...

I always was surprised there were people who are surprised that there are mushrooms that look like wangs.

Uhhh... you do know what a mushroom actually is*... right? Because if you do, the resemblance should be almost a no-brainer ;)

As long as we're talking about Cracked and evil plants, there's always the sandbox tree

Come to think of it, it would probably fit better in a Savage region than an Evil one.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I'm disturbed to find out that the eyeball grass has a RL equivalent.

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

The author must really fear dicks to call anything shaped thusly as the most evil looking of all!

Also, I second the fungi does not equal plants thing! Then they could have fit that sandbox tree in there, along with some other ones like venous fly traps. I mean, whats more evil than moving jaws lined with teeth?

Oh yeah, I saw that article awhile ago.  And I'd heard of the blood mushroom thing before.  Guess where?  Go on, guess.

I like cracked.  Usually an interesting read, though it is sort of obsessed with dicks(See: "D'kthulu").
