Alraune

Encyclopedia Entry:
The Alraune is a type of plant monster with the form of a beautiful woman wrapped in flower petals that lives in forested regions. They don’t normally move much, usually catching their prey by emitting a sweet fragrance that attracts men who are nearby. This fragrance comes from the fluids made by their bodies, appropriately named “Alraune Nectar.” It functions as a very effective and powerful aphrodisiac that is force-fed to men through mouth-to-mouth with the Alraune. The nectar is also treasured by other monsters, such as the Honeybee, which intermittently attacks the Alraune for it.

Alraunes use their vines to seize any prey that approaches, and will initiate sexual intercourse to obtain semen, which serves as food. Afterward, if the Alraune takes a special liking to the man, she will pull him into the flower petals, which are overflowing with Alraune Nectar. At this stage the man will probably be stuck with the Alraune for the rest of his life, being bound by both pleasure and the vines, making it difficult to escape.

Another thing is that during the cold season, the Alraune close their petals and hold out until the coming spring. To prepare for this, she stores up all of the necessary nutrients needed to reproduce and to keep the man alive. Once the petals close, she is constantly engaged in repeated sex with the man so they can produce seeds.
