Cactus people are, as the name implies, Plant People based on cacti.
Cactus people are typically found in deserts. Unlike other Plant People, they're thus rarely associated with verdant wildernesses or Green Thumb powers. Instead, they're a stock inhabitant of fantasy desert lands and are also associated with Wild West- or Mexico-inspired settings, due to the ubiquity of cacti in American deserts.note It's those deserts that colored the trope All Deserts Have Cacti. Their harsh environment may also lead to them being depicted as self-reliant, hardened survivors.
Their most notable trait, besides environmental preferences, is the fact that, as cacti, they're covered in spines. This provides them with a number of unique options in combat situations, such as by adding dozens of painful pinpricks to any melee attack. Their needles will also factor into defense, as anybody trying to directly attack a Cactus Person will expose themselves to their spiny coat; this may not directly prevent damage to the cactus, but will punish anyone trying to fight them up close. They may even be a Spike Shooter with the ability to launch their spines as a ranged attack.
Cacti are also known for retaining large quantities of water that travelers can drink to survive in the desert. Thus, Cactus People may also have a sort of watery blood that other creatures can drink. This may be something that they offer freely, or else it may drive others to hunt and exploit Cactus People for it.
Subtrope of Plant Person. In video games, this may overlap with The Spiny.

Bas-Lag Cycle: The cactacae are a species of towering humanoid cacti, known for their strength and resilience to harm — their fibrous flesh and thin, wooden bones are difficult to damage with normal weapons, as blades and bullets pass right through them with little effect. The cactacae themselves use a type of crossbows that fire spinning metal disks when fighting one another. The mostly live in the cities of Shankell and Dreer Shameer in the Cymek Desert, but many also live in New Crobuzon inside a huge greenhouse.

Digimon:
Togemon is a humanoid cactus with boxing gloves and three round holes for eyes and a mouth. It attacks by shooting sweeping volleys of its thorns.
Ponchomon is the ghost of a Togemon, and resembles a floating version of its previous form wearing a poncho and a large sombrero. It's actually an armor form for Patamon, but can evolve from Palmon, Togemon's usual Rookie form.

SCP Foundation:
An April Fools' Day prank had some of the SCPs rewritten as plants. SCP-096 became a cactus.
SCP-2800, the "Cactus Man" is a man whose genome contains DNA of a saguaro cactus, and has cactus powers like growing spines, photosynthesis, efficient water retention, resistance to above-average temperatures and aridity, and empathy with cacti. He also suffers from Chronic Hero Syndrome and tried to be a superhero before Foundation capture, although he usually got beaten up by the thugs he tried to fight.

Final Fantasy XII has Cactides and Cactoids, creatures resembling short cacti with stumpy legs and long, thin, ribbon-like arms; they're distinguished by the two stacked cactus lobes growing from a Cactoid's head, which Cactides lack. They're docile and won't attack unless struck first, and drop bundles of needles and cactus fruits on death. There's a stronger variant, the Flowering Cactoid, which despite its name is a Cactide with a flower on its head. This one is hostile, and unlike the regular ones can shoot volleys of needles as an attack.

Pathfinder:
Cactus leshies are diminutive humanoids created when a nature spirit is bound into a body formed from a specially grown cactus, and exist to protect and nurture desert flora. Their Needly Body deals automatic damage to anybody who engages in bare-handed melee or grappling, and they can launch these spines a good distance as well; for their friends and allies they can grow a sweet fruit from their bodies that, when eaten, provide mild healing, a full meal, and protection from extremes of temperature. There are also pesh leshies, or "peshies", a variant whose bodies are crafted from the pesh cacti that the setting's main narcotic drug is derived from and who are known to aid pesh farmers in their trade.
Saguaroi are a naturally occurring species of humanoid cacti, visually distinguished by the numerous saguaro-like growths and branches sprouting from their backs, upper arms and heads; these are generally inert growths, but elderly saguaroi can learn to move the larger ones like extra arms. They're a reclusive folk and lead nomadic lives in the deep desert, but sometimes agree to aid travelers or even grant them a drink of their watery lymph to stave off dehydration. Their spiny bodies grant them protection against physical blows, and they can also fire bursts of their needles as a ranged attack. Each saguaroi sprouts a large flower once a year, which eventually produces a seed that can be planted to create a new saguaroi child.

Dungeons & Dragons:
Saguaro sentinels, introduced in the desert-focused Sandstorm supplement, are a variant of Treants resembling huge, humanoid saguaros. They're True Neutral rather than Neutral Good, but guard and protect forests same as other treants — they just watch over cactus forests, specifically. Since they're covered in sharp thorns, they're effectively immune to melee attacks; they can also shoot out these thorns in painful volleys, but lose their melee defense from them until they grow back.
Needlemen are plant creatures resembling emaciated humanoids bristling with spines, which they either launch as projectiles or use to enhance the damage of their melee attacks.

West of Loathing has Cactus Bill, a man who drank too much cactus beer and became a man-sized potted cactus with a human face. He actually enjoys this condition, since he is constantly drunk from natural fermentation, but he is bored and will help you a bit if you entertain him. Just stick a newspaper on him. Despite being immobile, he travels from Boring Springs to Dirtwater and arrives two days after you. If you find a woman that will marry him, the Modular Epilogue shows them with several human and cactus children, whose number depends on player's actions with weather control.

Pokémon:
Cacnea is a Pokémon resembling a round cactus walking around on two conical stubs, with a yellow flower on its top, a series of round holes for a mouth and pair of long arms ending in rounded tips studded with more conical spikes. Its evolution, Cacturne, loses the flower and is more fully humanoid. They're found in deserts and attack by shooting volleys of quills (represented through them learning the move Pin Missile). They get by in deserts by storing large quantities of water in their bodies, and Cacturne in particular spends the days standing still to save energy and water, becoming active at night as it stalks travelers exhausted by the desert sun.
Maractus is another cactus Pokémon resembling a humanoid prickly pear, with ear-like lobes each tipped with a flower. It's also found chiefly in desert routes. Rather than shooting needles, however, it's themed around shaking its limbs to make sounds like maracas. Its nutrient-rich seeds are also noted to be a valuable food source in the desert.

Final Fantasy:
Cactuars are enemies, usually found in desert areas, resembling stylized humanoid saguaros, with limbs resembling saguaro branches with a single right-angled joint each and faces consisting of two round holes for eyes and an elongated one for a mouth. They grow continuously over their lives, and particularly old and large ones, known as Gigantuars, appear from time to time as bosses. They're covered in needles, and fire them by the thousand as their signature move. Final Fantasy XIII also has them transform into Flowering Cactuars and flee from battle if not killed within a turn.
Final Fantasy X reveals an entire civilization of cactuars living in the Bikanel Desert region. Final Fantasy X-2 greatly expands upon this, revealing this to be the Cactuar Nation. The Al Bhed have actually opened diplomatic relations with them, but the only one who actually understands their language so far is an Al Bhed boy named Benzo. A game-spanning sidequest involves Yuna and the Gullwings getting to know them and eventually saving them from the menace of the sands, the Angra Mainyu superboss.
Final Fantasy XII has Cactides and Cactoids, creatures resembling short cacti with stumpy legs and long, thin, ribbon-like arms; they're distinguished by the two stacked cactus lobes growing from a Cactoid's head, which Cactides lack.

Cactus from the Plants vs. Zombies franchise. As a cactus, her arms are permanently pointed upwards and she has a red flower on her head. While in some incarnations she can deal damage just from contact, most of the time she shoots spikes out of her mouth. She's usually characterized as aloof and prickly on the outside but warm-hearted on the inside.

West Coast Avengers: Cactus is an artificial being created from a saguaro cactus and given humanoid mobility and intelligence by the latest incarnation of the Dominus computer on Earth. It's encountered by the Avengers with others of Dominus' minions, but is ultimately defeated. Cactus looks like a vaguely humanoid saguaro, and possesses at least a basic intelligence.

Final Fantasy X reveals an entire civilization of cactuars living in the Bikanel Desert region. Final Fantasy X-2 greatly expands upon this, revealing this to be the Cactuar Nation. The Al Bhed have actually opened diplomatic relations with them, but the only one who actually understands their language so far is an Al Bhed boy named Benzo. A game-spanning sidequest involves Yuna and the Gullwings getting to know them and eventually saving them from the menace of the sands, the Angra Mainyu superboss.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 has the Original Generation character named Amingo, who is a sapient cactus man and a walking National Stereotype of Mexico. He has a truly bizarre design and fighting style, and is able to morph his arms and body into a large variety of weapons.

Doctor Who:
"Meglos": The villain is a cactus-like alien from a desert planet. His default form looks pretty much just like a cactus, without a face or much in the way of limbs. During the story, he uses technology to develop a humanoid form as a disguise; when the disguise is working properly he looks fully human, with smooth pink skin, but at several points the disguise glitches and his skin goes green with spikes sticking out of it.
In "The End of Time", the doctor identifies two Vinvocci, green aliens with spikes across their skin, undercover on Earth. It's not clear if they are plant-based or not.

Steven Universe: Future: In "Prickly Pair", Steven accidentally turns a Cactus sentient with his gem powers, and it imitates him in what he says, what he does, and how he looks, resulting in it being named Cactus Steven. Once enraged, Cactus Steven becomes an Implacable Man (which Garnet attributes to cacti's durability) that grows in size when it absorbs water and is very painful to make contact with.

Rifts: The Cactus People of the Arizona desert are a reclusive species of humanoid succulents who largely avoid contact with animal-based sapients, especially as the latter often seek to harvest or consume their highly nutritious, watery "blood".

Cactuars are enemies, usually found in desert areas, resembling stylized humanoid saguaros, with limbs resembling saguaro branches with a single right-angled joint each and faces consisting of two round holes for eyes and an elongated one for a mouth. They grow continuously over their lives, and particularly old and large ones, known as Gigantuars, appear from time to time as bosses. They're covered in needles, and fire them by the thousand as their signature move. Final Fantasy XIII also has them transform into Flowering Cactuars and flee from battle if not killed within a turn.

Godzilla Island has a sentient, anthropomorphic cactus-ball kaiju called Gororin, complete with two glowing yellow eyes and Spike Shooter abilities, though it doesn't have limbs and relies on rolling and bouncing itself all over the place. It's one of the few original monsters in the series.
