Weird Plant

[Darkness_Falls]

Just made this for an idea. Could just be a weird plant... or could move around and be a 'root beast' or something:

Wow... looks creepy. Kind of reminds me of valonia or ventricaria algae, if they were to have roots. It also reminds me of the Thief cutscene with the wine that sprouted tendrils.

I don't see it moving, but I can see it fixed to a wall above an opening, with grappling tendrils which hang down and strangle anybody who walks through.

That would be freaky. Like Half-Life's tentacles, but spookier.

that is freaky, kind of half plant, half spider, cool

Appreciate the comments. Any of those scenarios would be nice. I envisioned it in a swamp or bog setting, maybe protecting an objective or other valuable item under it's root cage. If that item glowed and the root cage swayed a little, some neat shadows might (?) eminate. Another possibility: just have a field of them as decoration... like that one level in T2 where there are a bunch of "eye plants". Of course, with our modeling and animation woes, it may prove unrealistic to make such a 'one purpose' creature/plant, but I wanted to contribute this anyways.
