Question of the Week #143 · 1:42am February 21st
Hello everyone and welcome back to the question of the week.
While it might be tempting to go ahead and just repost the questions I had in regards to AI, conceptualization and commissions here, I'm not going to do that today.
Instead, I wanted to talk about something else.
So, as many of you know I love talking about mutants and how a world might be influenced after a bunch of mutagenic bioweapons are dropped. Now while it is fun to talk about the mutant creatures/monsters, today we're going to talk about... Plants.

More specifically I want to talk about how plants might be mutated and changed in such a world.
Now as tempting as it is to make them all man eating... I think we can do better then that.
I think we can come up with other unique and interesting plant mutations. Like plants that glow in the dark with patterns reminiscent of a deep sea creature. Maybe after the bio bombs dropped blue roses are suddenly more common then red roses.
So my inquiry this week is what sort of mutated plant idea can you come up with?
Thank you all for coming by. May you be safe and have a wonderful week.
Have arbitrary objects literally grow on trees, the more illogical the better.
I think Poison Joke is pretty up there. Those plants seems to be able to find your unspoken weakness, almost like it could read minds.
Same with the tree that turns you into their trees. Zecora got really lucky with Fluttershy.
What about a plant so pleasant that the moment you smell it, you're infected? It's basically a plant from Oxygen Not Included called Sporechid. It basically releases zombie spores that can never be cured and are debilitating. It doesn't reproduce normally, so it's limited to a certain area.
Hmm, how about a plant that mutates in a way that it can collect soil in a portable root bundle and thereby achieve the ability to walk, at least after a fashion?

Ambulatory plants don't usually bother with that, in our world or fiction. It'd be pretty funny to put "pants" made of dirt on your vegetable people, though.
