These bulbous, autonomous plants are found mostly in sandy terrain, whether it be dry deserts or soaked beaches. Leevers spend most of their time submerged, until they detect the movements of a land-walking creature above them—at which point several of them ambush this prey by slamming into it with acid-lined barbs. If successful, the leevers work together to submerge the corpse into the sand of which the leevers dwell, where they can slowly absorb its nutrients until the next prey comes along. Leevers have the odd tendency of spinning at high speeds while traversing over sand, though this has the effect of making their goring barbs even more brutal. Against particularly difficult prey, leevers may retreat back into the sand only to attempt new ambushing attacks against the prey at seemingly random intervals. |
