Snowball Eating Plant

The Snowball Eating Plant at maximum size.

The Snowball Eating Plant, shown deflating itself.

The Snowball Eating Plant was a Venus fly trap parody in Club Penguin, found at the Tree House during the Adventure Party. Throwing snowballs into its mouth causes it to consume them and eventually grow. If players keep feeding the plant snowballs, it will begin to grow. The more snowballs granted, the more growth from the plant.

As the plant grows in size, the chomping sound it makes also becomes louder. The plant can grow large enough to fill the southeastern sector if fed properly. At its maximum limit, however, the plant will burp and deflate itself to original size, ready for a second course of frozen precipitation.

Botany Stuff

The plant is Maroon in color, with flattened teeth. In the real world, that would mean the plant is a herbivore (plant eater), but in this plant's case, it is for capturing and retaining snowballs inside itself. The plant seems to have warm insides because it melts snowballs upon contact. It is an audible creature, making notable chomping sounds and its loud burp after reaching maximum growth.

Water is essential to its survival, and the plant depends on penguins for its existence. Its only source of liquid is via snowballs, considering it hangs in trees and lacks a root system. This key trait of the Snowball Eating Plant indicates a symbiotic relationship. The plant depends on penguins for its food (snowballs) and the penguins benefit from feeding the plant by having fun feeding it.

So to make this sound easy, it melts snow for food and is friends with all penguins.

Trivia

• The Snowball Eating Plant would probably not survive in the usual frigid climate of Club Penguin Island, but due to the tropical heatwave during the Adventure Party 2009, it flourished along with the other tropical plants Rockhopper brought.

• It is unknown how the plant manages to stay aloft in the trees when at maximum size, and why it doesn't propel itself downward when letting out such loud and forceful belching.

• Many Mwa Mwa Penguins pretended that the plant ate them.

• On June 12, 2009, an army called the Nachos flooded the Tree House and had the plant feast on their snowballs.

• If there is an Adventure Party 2010, it is likely it will come back.
