A morbol is part of the class of creations known as ambulatory flora. While it is a plant that is capable of photosynthesis, it does not affix itself to the earth with roots, nor does it permanently attach itself to any organism or structure.
'Tis a carnivorous specimen capable of digesting meat, and thus its original concept and like iterations were first tailored to habituate the environment that other carnivorous plants inhabit... that is, bogs and swamps.
It possesses tendrils that are quite strong, and uses these to strike out, and to grab its prey to bring to it's 'mouth', the inner rim of which is lined with thorns bearing resemblance to teeth. These hold the prey in place as it digests them.
The foul breath it exudes is in fact a poison meant to debilitate its prey to make it easier to grab. It causes temporary blindness, slows reaction times and makes limbs difficult to move, and even spontaneous bouts of outright paralysis... in other words, 'tis a neurological toxin. Fortunately, it metabolizes quickly enough that it is not in itself immediately fatal if one can manage to escape tendril and mouth. Unless one were foolish enough to endure continuous exposure without seeking treatment.
