Spicaryophyll

Spicaryophylls are a species from the planet Opuntia.

Appearence
Spicaryophylls are humanoid cacti with no eyes. They have red fingers and spikes all over the body. They have a flower on their head.

Behaivor
Spicaryophylls live in small groups of 3 to 5, and reproduce using spores. Since Opuntia is a desert planet, Spicaryophylls adapted to survive without water for 20 years.

Powers and Abilities
Spicaryophylls can fire their spikes, which can be either normal or poisonous (if fired from the central flower).

Spicaryophylls are quite agile and strong, and can regenerate a lost limb by reattaching it to the main body. To perform this, they became immune to theacid that flows inside their bodies.

Weaknesses
Spicaryophylls can't regenerate a limb if they can't reattach it.

Etymology
Spica is Latin for "spike", while caryophyllales is an order of plants which includes cacti.

Trivia

 * Spicaryophyll spikes are considered to be the easiest source of water on the planet, as they can be filtered into pure water, poison and clorophyll.
