The Flower-Maw reveals it deadliness when it splits open, like an overripe seed exploding. When its ribs spread out, a enormous maw like an insanely sized orchid, crossed with the mouth of a shark appears while leaking reddish-brown juice that dripped like saliva.

The fleshy petals that make up the mouth are bristled with a multitude of carmine thorns, sharp and triangular, which suggested the idea of ​​teeth. It uses long crimson tentacles, also bristling with thorns to grab and drag unsuspecting prey.
