Imesian vine-beasts

Vine-beasts are gigantic invertebrates from the tropics of Imest. They are the size of medium-large trees and can be found near rivers and lakes. 

It is very difficult for vine-beasts to move, so they are fixed to one area for a majority of their lives. Due to this, like carnivorous plants, they wait for their prey to come to them. By using a special limb that evolved to have the appearance of a fish, their prey gets lured until it is easy to reach.

Abilities:

• Mimicry (limb with bait)
• Fast regeneration
• Releasing toxins

Although vine-beasts look like plants, they can easily be mistaken for one. However, underneath their appearance, there is meat underneath. 

Origins of the Baxas' powers

Ile-Irkahta, Planet of the Baxas

Being one of the most barren planets to ever hold life, at least out of all the planets known to the Piarosar System, Ile-Irkahta spent a majority of its time creating some of the most powerful life-forms to exist. 

Over megaannums, most of its organic life have formed strong symbiotic bonds with one another in order to survive the panet's harsh environments. Of all the life on the planet, baxas, the dominating species of Ile-Irkahta, has the most unique symbiosis. Not only do they have natural bonds with other species, they have also mastered the skill of domesticating various life-forms to benefit their societies. 

However, before all this domestication even ocurred, there was one kind of plant that the baxas bonded most with. And that is a type of herb family - nimalpahma. Nimalpahma-type herbs have evolved with baxas to give them powers that helped them gain intelligence in the first place.
