The carnivorous tomato plant is a tomato plant located in northern Amphibia. It is classified as a hostile plant. It first appears in the episode "Hop Luck", in which Anne, Sprig, Polly, and Hop Pop search for tomatoes in order to make pizza for the annual "Hop Luck" event in town.
Appearance[]
The carnivorous tomato plant resembles a Venus flytrap-like plant with three heads atop long red stems joined at the base of the plant, where bunches of tomatoes are located. Each head possesses a large mouth and rows of sharp, white teeth and a green flower-like stalk. Their stomach appears to be conjoined and their nourishment shared between one another. They also have hidden elongated red tendrils which are used to reach and grab prey that are out of their reach. The plant's weak point is its throat, which can be eaten raw and once damaged causes the plant to die promptly.
Personality[]
The plant is highly aggressive and protective of the tomatoes located at its base. It will attack anything that comes close enough and uses its tendrils to grab distant prey to drop in its mouth.
