'''Bloodflower''' are a carnivorous plant that are commonly found on the surface of [[Tallon IV]]. They become hostile when they detect a threat, attacking [[Samus Aran|Samus]] if she approaches.

==Morphology and Ethology==

The flowers attack Samus and other creatures by shooting toxic spores. These spores, however are toxic even to Bloodflowers themselves.<ref name="Logbook"/> These plants can be destroyed by reflecting their own slow-moving spores; Samus can [[Arm Cannon|shoot]] ejected spores, sending them back toward attacking Bloodflowers. Bloodflowers whither quickly when poisoned. They can also be destroyed by receiving sufficient [[beam]] damage, being particularly weak to the high-temperature [[Plasma Beam]].

~~==Origins==~~

Bloodflowers seem to be an expanded concept of {{wp|Rapid plant movement|plants capable of rapid movement}}, such as the venus flytrap or sundews. They are, of course, much more dangerous than such real-life plants.

~~===Etymology===~~

There are various real-life species of flowers that have been colloquially called "blood flowers" such as {{wp|asclepias curassavica}} or {{wp|calothamnus sanguineus}}. These flowers, like Bloodflowers, simply share a red coloration. More likely than not, Bloodflowers were named for their color and possibly for their demeanor.

==Trivia==

*Scanning the spores shot by Bloodflowers results in the scan for a Bloodflower to show up.
