Devilvine

The Devilvine split off from its ancestor. The acid secreted by Nidbin flowers became stronger and now flows through its sap, being also secreted by the tip of its roots. When in contact with the air, this acid is strong enough to slowly dissolve harder substances, like limestone rocks. The tip of the branches is also damaged in the process, but can regenerate and grow slowly into the hole opened by the acid. In this way, it moved into Ferret Limestone Cave, where grows under the rocky surface.

Dissolving the rocks, it can create long galleries in the floor, walls or ceiling of the cave, the first two places being the more common. The flowers, which are about 30 cm tall, are the only visible part. These come up from the rocky surface like small red-purple bags, with a hard tip; they grow slowly, developing a bag similar to a Nidbin's. The bag has several long wires around the opening, which serve for a special purpose.

It smells like the "follow" pheromones of Bumbleworms, being able to attract them, which can pollinate it or fall into the trap, sticking in the small globe rod or falling into the bag, being digested and absorbed by the plant.

As photosynthesis in the dark caves is not very efficient, it evolved a new way to get nutrients. The pheromones also can attract other creatures, that can try eat the flowers. When a creature touches it, the bag will blow up and the acid will fall over the creature, damaging it and dissolving part of its skin and nearest tissues. Blood and tissues will create a small puddle around the flower debris. Now, the wires attached to the flower opening will drain the nutrients and transport them to the main branch, feeding the plant.

When blown up, it spreads its seeds, which have long fine wires in the tip, being carried by the air. They have a small pouch of acid, which will dissolve the rock and allow the germination start.
