The Man-Trap waits for a solitary victim, perhaps an expeditionary party's scout, searching ahead for danger. But here lies not danger, but opportunity: a respite, a treasure, a lost child, companionship. The Man-Trap cannot offer details like speech or coin, but it is canny enough to search out the desires of those it preys upon, and once they have entered its maw, which is often camoflauged with the landscape surrounding, then the Man-Trap reveals its nature, as the ground moves and folds over upon itself, trapping the victim within. The body of the Man-Trap is root-like, though it can burrow to escape if endangered in the course of its meal, dragging the trap pod behind it through the earth. Instinct: to devour and collect treasure

• Entrap someone in a spiny pod
• Lure them in according to their desires and self-image
