In Dungeons & Dragons

The role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons has a number of, according to Charles Elliott "not-very-ingenious", imaginary plant species, [14] as well as "a taxonomy of fungal horrors", which Ben Woodard considers eerie not only for their poisonous nature, but because many have the ability to move. [22]

The following plants appear in the David Attenborough sketch of the last Monty Python episode.
