Floater
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Floater is a strange plant that can synthesise hydrogen and store it inside their spongy tissue. Then, by a virtue of its own extreme lightness, floaters can glide through the air on the main wind currents.[1]
Floaters basically resemble a sphere that covered with myriad of sensitive, short trigger papules. Should any of these papules make contact with an object, the floater bursts, dissipating its seeds around itself, which just in a few days form new floaters. Because of this ability, floaters could pose a danger to people or fragile objects. Otherwise, the plant is mostly harmless.[1]
