Krynoid, Ogrons, Raston Warrior Robot

 Krynoid

Krynoid are deadly carnivorous plants.  A Krynoid seed is approximately 150mm high.  When the seed germinates it shoots out long stems that lash out on nearby animal like.  The target is immediately infected with Krynoid spores and will start to change.  Stage one of the change causes the host to become drowsy and start to grow foliage with blood turning into chlorophyll and skin sprouting leaves.  Stage two sees the host transform into a walking plant, no longer with any of their own memories.  The third and final stage sees the creature grow to an astronomical size taller than a three story house.  At this point the Krynoid will show some control of nearby fauna, with regular plant life starting to lash out and kill any nearby animal life.  It does not take long for the Krynoid creature to spore it's seeds.  In a matter of 24hours a Krynoid is well on it's way to taking over an entire world.
