Ecological Research Report of the Predatory Lifeforms “Traptrix”
The mysterious lifeforms known as the “Traptrix” dwell deep within the forests of the south, consuming any creature that loses its way through the forest. As soon as their existence became public knowledge, countless researchers, fascinated by their unique form of predation, began to pop up, resulting in rapid progress concerning research into these creatures. And in recent years, many new species have been discovered. In honor of those who came before who dedicated their bodies and souls to “The Traptrix” and advanced research on them at great cost, we present the results of their work in this paper.
Various Hunting Methods
The “Traptrix”, who specialize in preying on intelligent lifeforms, have various hunting methods.
[Traptrix Pinguicula]
It captures prey that are attracted by its pretty figure, using its sticky leaves to seal their ability to move, and turns them into nourishment.

[Traptrix Nepenthes]
“Pudica” and “Nepenthes” that have similar means of hunting, and they have similar appearances, looking effectively like sisters.
