Methanosian

Methanosians are a floral sapient species from the swamp planet Methanos.

Anatomy
Methanosians are humanoid plant-like aliens taller than Humans with a red flame-patterned head, root-like feet seemingly holding black rocks, pointed oval-shaped eyes ending with pupils copying the shape but in a smaller size, red and yellow petals on their shoulders and heads, four or five-fingered hands, and green frills sticking out of their elbows and legs.

During their first stage of "blossoming", Methanosians look mostly the same except they become more muscular, the lines on their necks have thinned, and the lines on their chest have moved upward into a pointed-down angle. They lose their pupils, one of their shoulder petals, and one of their leg frills.

During the second stage of "blossoming", Methanosians become even more muscular, their red petals form a thorn-like shape, and the lines on their necks become triangular. They lose the lines on their chests and another of their shoulder petals, yet gain two petals on each arm. Their faces are red, yellow, orange, and black.

"Blossomed" Methanosians are even more muscular and taller than before, their faces no longer have black parts over the eyes, their chins are more visible, and they have green horns on their feet, knees, and elbows. Their four-fingered hands are black with yellow claws, knuckle spikes, and holes in the palms. They have red horns with yellow spots that evoke flames, two on each forearm and one on each shoulder. They also have large collars raised up around their necks that are yellow on the inside and the same color as the rest of their skin on the outside.

Although they traditionally have green skin, Methanosians can come in other colors. For example, Methanosians from Dimension 23 are aqua, Anur-Mirror Swampfire is grey, and Benjamin Franklin's Swampfire is yellow. The tone of a Methanosian's skin changes as they "blossom".

Powers and abilities
Similar to Pyronites, Methanosians can generate and blast flames of various amounts of heat and intensity through their hands and mouths via igniting the methane in their bodies. This is accomplished by breaking down rotting plant matter in their stomachs.

A Methanosian's fire attacks are powerful enough to harm Vaxasaurians and destroy Sonorosian clones, and become more powerful as they age.

Similar to Florauna, Methanosians are capable of different feats of chlorokinesis, such as telepathically interfacing with plant life, manipulating agriculture, generating seeds, and sprouting vines as both tentacles and whips.

As they age, a Methanosian's chlorokinetic abilities are slightly modified so that they can control sapient plant life.

Methanosians are strong enough to push down a large Highbreed weather tower, and become stronger as they age.

Methanosians can reattach and regenerate missing body parts.

Methanosians undergo a metamorphosis process that results in them "blossoming". As a result, their natural enhanced durability is amplified so they can take more hits.

Methanosians have a swampy stench which other beings find repulsive, due to their race coming from a swamp planet.

Weaknesses
Similar to Pyronites, a Methanosian's fire attacks can be canceled by water or fire extinguishers. They are also ineffective against a Chimera Sui Generis or a containment suit worn by Prypiatosian-B.

Methanosians can be temporarily immobilized by ice, such as a Necrofriggian's ice breath, until they thaw themselves using their fire powers.

Methanosians are vulnerable to electricity, such as a Conductoid's attacks.

Despite their enhanced strength, Methanosians are physically weaker than Crystalsapiens, Tetramands, and Vaxasaurians.

Methanosians can be affected by magic, as such an attack can leave their backs scorched.

Like other organic beings, Methanosians can be aged to dust by the time rays of a Chronosapien or Chronian.

Methanosians can be easily overpowered by a Galilean's gravity powers.

Planets controlled by Methanosians can be killed by certain chemicals.

Culture and society
Methanosians have stuffy voices because they do not have noses. However, they do possess a sense of smell.

History
Methanosians are descended from carnivorous swamp plants, but evolved into plant-like herbivorous humanoids at some point in their evolution.
