	\|summary=The tailpoke is a plant ~~that grows in clusters of oddly~~-~~angled~~ pods ~~with a subterranean portion used for propulsion when disturbed~~.		\|summary=The tailpoke is a plant with teadrop-shaped pods which launch themselves towards the orifices of potential hosts.
	\|physiology=Tailpokes grow in clusters ~~and wait until a creature wanders close enough~~. When a ~~patch is disturbed~~, the ~~pressurized sac beneath~~ the ~~ground spasms and launches the upper portion forth~~. ~~Too blunt to cause any sort of direct injury~~, ~~they are well designed to lodge themselves into any orifice they happen to impact~~ at ~~just~~ the ~~right angle. The~~ base of the ~~plant is coated in a thick, sticky fluid that~~ glues it ~~into the victim~~, ~~preventing~~ removal. Once within ~~a victim~~ the pod ~~ejects a large volume of~~ seeds, ~~causing it to wither and detach, though its~~ secretions ~~remain and~~ act as a plug ~~to keep its~~ seeds ~~within the victim~~.		\|physiology=Tailpokes are purple and orange pods which grow in clusters.
	\|habitat=The tailpoke grows in clusters ~~along~~ paths~~, natural or otherwise, in grasslands~~ and ~~forests. Trails used by beasts as well as walkways paved through gardens are equally prone to growing these plants. Though not too prone to growing~~ within the ~~city, there are occasions when unwary citizens are surprised by one~~.
			When the plant detects foosteps of a creature nearby, it will fire one or more pods with the aim of lodging them within the creature's orifices. If one finds purchase, a sticky fluid at the base of the pod glues it in place, making removal difficult. Once within, the pod injects its seeds, as well as slimy secretions that act as a plug. From here, the pod withers and drops off, leaving the seeds plugged inside.

			\|habitat=The tailpoke grows in clusters near paths and trails outside the City and within the Viviria District.
