A '''Venus Mantrap''' is named after the similar plant first found on [[Terra]], the Venus Flytrap. It is identical to this plant in all but size, growing up to twenty or thirty metres high and being able to constrict and absorb a man-sized creature with no problem. They are most often found on steaming [[Death Worlds]] such as [[Catachan]]. The leaves are fashioned to end in 'teeth' which are activated by careless touching of the plant's sensitive hairs. The leaves then move around attack its new prey and most often it is unable to escape in time.<sup>1</sup>
