Aliens aren't just made of meat. Whether dumb, talkative or even singing, plant-based aliens have been a staple of movies, films and TV for decades. There are even a few based on fungi, which are just as sessile, despite being very different from plants. They're actually much more closely related to animals, but if you've got walking talking mushrooms, why worry about a little thing like that? On a side note, plant aliens are nearly always mobile and/or sentient, traits that pretty much defeat the point of belonging to a kingdom whose feeding methods do not rely on looking for other organisms to eat (and raises the question where they get all the extra energy from). Then again, what can you expect from Fantastic Flora? May cross over with Plant Mooks if the characters are treated as disposable cannon fodder. Compare Plant Person, Planimal, and Botanical Abomination. See also Alien Kudzu, which may or may not be a plant. |

Deep Gravity: When Drummond is informed that the animal-like lifeforms he's looking at can photosynthesize, he's surprised and asks if they're plants. He's told that "animal" and "plant" aren't really valuable biological distinctions for things from a completely different planet; they could be called plant aliens, but that's just applying Earth terminology to things that don't really follow Earth rules. | |

Starbound: The playable Florans subvert the nature-loving plant people stereotype by being violent, bloodthirsty, caveman-like carnivores and are thought little of by the other, fleshy races. The nonplayable Agarians are mushroom people who speak a language that is unaffected by the player's Translation Convention, making their origins and motives very mysterious. Occasionally, you'll find a settlement of them having Florans imprisoned in underground dungeons, hinting at some sort of relationship between them. The Poptop, a commonly-encountered beast, is actually a plant, according to source material. And like the Florans, their innocent appearance hides a thoroughly vicious predator. |

Star Wars: Republic featured the Neti, a race of long-lived plant aliens. At least two of them, Ood Bnar and Tra'Saa, became Jedi. Neti resembled bundles of knotted tree roots but had limited shape-shifting abilities, able to alter the actual shaping of their bodies (Tra'Saa, for instance, adopted a Cute Monster Girl-like appearance, with only her "hair" appearing rootlike). | |

The Outer Limits (1995): In "Flower Child", a plant-based alien, the Last Of Its Kind, travelled to Earth via a meteor. It became embedded in the soil of a community garden of a San Francisco apartment building and grew into a strange plant overnight. After it kills Mary Cummings with its stinger, the alien uses the energy that it absorbed in the process to transform itself into a beautiful young woman named Violet. Taking up residence in Mary's apartment, Violet seeks to procreate and produces a scent which men find seductive. She sets her sights on Chris, who has just moved into the building with his fiancée Mia and is experiencing pre-wedding jitters. Chris initially manages to resist temptation due to his commitment to remain faithful to Mia but the landlord Mr. Sylvano is less strong-willed and is killed by Violet for his trouble. Chris eventually succumbs to her charms and they have sex. As a result, Violet obtains Chris' seed and uses it to produce millions of offspring which she ejects from her body through the mouth. Her species will soon spread all over Earth and replace humanity as the dominant species. | |

The sarlacc in Return of the Jedi is a massive Man-Eating Plant-like creature that unnaturally prolongs the life of anything it eats while slowly digesting them for a thousand years. It's said to reproduce through spores, and because of their Bizarre Alien Biology xenobiologists are unsure whether to classify them as plant or animal but most lean towards the former. | |

Security guards have tough bark as natural body armour, diplomats and politicians grow exotic colourful flowers. These plants are essentially the Mabrae's clothes.

The Powerpuff Girls (1998): One episode features an invasion by broccoli-shaped aliens. With their parents paralyzed, the children of Townsville resorted to eating the intruders, at the PPGs' behest. (Obviously, the Aesop to be learned here was to eat your vegetables... but hypnosis by eating vegetables was what brought up this situation in the first place.) Relish Rampage, a tie-in game, has the Girls defeating alien pickles. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Aartuk are nomadic starfish-like sapient plants that are always battle-hungry. Hamadryads are sapient plants from the Feywild that can alter their bodies during sleep to gain different abilities and the appearance of their foliage changes as they age from spring to summer to autumn to winter. They existed in the 3rd edition, where they were called "Killoren" and were explicitly a plant-based member of The Fair Folk. |

Skorp sprites make them look like flowery cacti but official art makes them look more like arthropods. Official art makes septoggs look like dirt monsters with grass growing on them. | |

Farscape: Zhaan is a Human Alien plant. It's for the most part treated as no different from the various other biological quirks of the aliens in the series (we aren't even told until late in the first season). It becomes a plot point in one episode when she starts "budding" and growing more aggressive because her body needs to feed on some animal protein once in a while. She also really enjoys being out in bright solar light. | |

Speaker for the Dead, and the other related sequels to Ender's Game, have the pequeninos, which after dying become sentient trees. In fact, every native species (only a few dozen species exist) on that planet had an animal/plant duality to its life cycle. It's an important plot point when the humans figure out WHY and actually explains the single-biome nature of the planet (it's all just fields and forests). The cause of all this is the Descolada, a highly-adaptable virus capable of infecting any living thing. It unravels any DNA strand it comes into contact with, causing the death of any organism that has not adapted to it. Humans can only survive it by ingesting genetically-engineered food supplements daily, and all who contract it are carriers. When the Descolada first appeared on Lusitania, it wiped out the vast majority of plant and animal species, leaving behind those that managed to adapt and use the Descolada as part of their lifecycle. Essentially, this means that various animals are, at different stages in their lives, plants and vice versa. The "piggies", local primitive sentients, turn into trees when properly killed (it's a great honor) and retain some of their consciousness as plants, whose sap is used to fertilize female "piggies" (which look like tiny snakes). When the Starways Congress finds out about the Descolada, they send a fleet to destroy Lusitania. Luckily, thanks to the lack of FTL travel, the fleet won't arrive for decades. |

The Cotati are intelligent, telepathic alien trees, and originally pretty inoffensive, responding to the Skrulls' challenge to create something in the Blue Area of the Moon by making a garden so beautiful it outshone the Kree's competing city.

Animorphs: Broccoli is an alien organism, as revealed in Megamorphs #2. There's nothing remarkable about it (it is broccoli after all, it was just brought by alien immigrants millions of years ago) but as Marco jokes, it explains so much about the weird taste. One of the monsters of the Hork-Bajir home world, the Lerdethak, seems to be a kind of plant. If so, Visser Three morphing into one (in book #11) is the one known example of someone acquiring a plant. |

The Day of the Triffids features strange plants that are in the habit of walking around and killing people with their deadly stingers. Ordinarily a rake and a good dose of weed killer would be enough to dispatch them, but at the start of the novel almost all living humans are blinded by a meteor shower. Strictly speaking, the triffids' origins were never explicitly established, with one of the protagonists believing an alternative theory that they were the terrestrial product of Soviet plant breeding experiments. The "meteor shower" may or may not have been a man-made weapon. | |

Swamp Thing: The title character is a disembodied consciousness, who forms his body from the plantlife surrounding him. This works well on Earth, where the flora is just flora, and can be twisted and reshaped with impunity. When he lands on an alien planet and is surrounded by sentient plants, it's outright Body Horror the way they're twisted and crammed together to form the body of a giant space alien. For the record, said planet was the homeworld of the plantlike Silver Age Green Lantern named Medphyll (who arrives to reason with Swampy). | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Orks have had a weird history with this trope. About the only thing that has remained constant is that they reproduce asexually, giving off spores through their life which grow new Orks in underground wombs; they release extra spores upon death, and as a result are basically impossible to completely wipe out. It's also implied they can photosynthesize. As for what else is canon, well, the writers haven't been able to find something that makes sense. They've gone from a symbiotic relationship between a mammal-like creature and a fungus, meaning they have green skin but red blood, to fungus/algae/vertebrate hybrids (after somebody pointed out the difference between plants and fungi). There are a few more conventional examples, such as the Brainleaf and Spiker, alien trees that reproduce by converting anything that crosses their path into another of their kind. |

Albion brings us Argim. Technically he's an iskai (a standard alien species in the game), until one of his experiments with immortality caused the psychic organ connected to his brain to somehow fuse with the plants that make up his home, effectively turning him into a living dungeon. | |

Doctor Who: "Mission to the Unknown" and "The Daleks' Master Plan" have the Varga plants on the Planet Kembel — homicidal mobile plants which infect people, first making them turn into homicidal maniacs, and then into Varga plants. They are native to Skaro, which suggests that they might be another of Davros' projects. |

Star Trek Expanded Universe: Star Trek Novel Verse: The Mabrae, appearing in Star Trek: The Lost Era and Star Trek: The Next Generation Relaunch, are animals but live symbiotically with plants that grow on their bodies, and are tailored to each individual. Security guards have tough bark as natural body armour, diplomats and politicians grow exotic colourful flowers. These plants are essentially the Mabrae's clothes. They consider segregation between leaf and flesh barbaric. Doctor's Orders: The Lahit are basically walking fir trees. Upon seeing a group of them, McCoy snarks that Birnham Wood finally gets to come to Dunsinane. |

Uplift: The Kanten were genetically engineered to be sapient over a period of roughly a hundred thousand years. They are small trees but can walk and talk, and are no "closer to nature" than animal-like aliens. They are one of the few species allied to Earthclan. Mulc-"spiders" are a species of sapient, but sessile, plant-like things quite unlike any life on Earth, which exist to dissolve cities after planets are declared fallow and evacuated. | |

The "alien" part is relative, though: to Olimar and the other Hocotatian astronauts they certainly are peculiar alien creatures, but the setting of the game is all but stated to be Earth After the End. There's also the walking, delicious fungus Puffstool with mutagenic spores. | |

Star Wars Legends: "Day of the Sepulchral Night": The Zelosians are basically Ridiculously Human Plant Aliens. They bleed green, have very vivid green eyes, and can live for a month on water and sunlight, but otherwise are basically human, down to digestive tracts and reproduction. They're even classified as "Near-Human", implying that they're capable of interbreeding with humans. Somehow. Lampshaded by one of them in Death Star, when he wonders if any geneticists have been able to make sense of his kind. There are several others, among whom the Neti (Force-sensitive sentient shapeshifting trees, alternating between a sapling stage, fully mobile periods of a few centuries (in which the females have breasts for some reason), and a up to millennium of hibernation in the form a big, rooted tree, which can extend to indefinite given the right conditions) and the Baffor Trees (regular, non-sentient trees on their own, but able to link their roots together to create a collective consciousness) A one-off joke in Darksaber mentions a carnivorous alien vending a vegetable stand next to a plant-like alien selling hunks of meat. |

Paperinik New Adventures has the Evronians, who first come to life as large fungus-like "spores" before maturing as fully mobile ducklike aliens, and even as adults maintain the ability to turn back in their very resilient spore form when in mortal danger. The enormous reproductive rate coming from their fungal nature, alongside the fact modern Evronians actually clone said spores, is one of the reasons they are a Horde of Alien Locusts, as they have to find new worlds to invade and, after a certain point, turn into Planet Spaceships to divide their numbers by half and go different ways to avoid a genocidal civil war. | |

Lilo & Stitch franchise: Sprout (X-509) is a Venus flytrap-like creature who was created by Jumba to grow into an uncontrollable destructive forest. In his debut in Lilo & Stitch: The Series, Lilo tries to use him in a bet against Mertle to win an orchid competition at a fair she was completely unprepared for. Mertle gets scared by Sprout snapping at her and accidentally breaks the pot he was planted in, causing him to root to the ground and grow into a giant plant with his buds terrorizing the fair. In the Stitch! anime (listed here instead of the Anime & Manga folder for consistency with the franchise), it's revealed that he can also spread seeds across the galaxy to grow copies of himself known as Sproutlings (X-509-A), which carry his original programming. |

Rod Allbright Alien Adventures series includes a sentient plant named Phil among its crew. (Phillogenous esk Piemondum, in full.) He looks just like a giant flower in a floating pot and speaks by 'burping' air through his pods. When the main character expresses astonishment that a plant could talk, he responds, "You're made of meat. It's a wonder you can think at all." Which is also a Shout-Out to this story. | |

"The Whisperer in Darkness" features an alien race, the Mi-Go, sometimes called the "fungi from Yuggoth". They are not true fungi, though; that's just the nearest comparable Earth organism. In appearance they are somewhat crustacean with membranous wings, their bodies quickly dissolve after death, they are capable of human speech after surgical alteration, and the material they are made of does not appear in photographs. | |
