| - These are demons which evolved from plants—specifically, carnivorous plants; their cute, pretty appearance is a trap to lure their prey. Their appearance is something of particular importance to this race: some Flora Beasts are so shy that they refuse to show their face while others make use of their appearance to literally seduce prey and enemies, similar to Succubi. Another concern in regards to their appearance is the fact that, to non-Flora Beasts, the males and females of the species are nearly indistinguishable from one-another. As is fitting for plants, Flora Beasts fight with thorns, leaves, and roots. They also have a strong elemental affinity towards wind and often use the element in battles to spread their various pollens; the species have a resistance to magic in general. They are one of the very few demon races that learn healing-type spells naturally, several unique to their species. Type: Plant (Monster, Demon) Hit Die: d8 Class Skills The creature's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Fly (Dex), Handle Animal (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (geography) (Int), Knowledge (nature) (Int), Martial Knowledge (Physical Monster weapon) (Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Spellcraft (Int), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).

A Flora Beast Learns a monster technique at 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th, and 20th level. These Techniques can be chosen from the Flora Beast's list of techniques highlighted with two (**). The Flora Beast must be able to perform techniques of the technique's level to learn it. There are many cases where monsters do not have enough techniques for every technique slot they have access to, in those cases, the Flora beast can select another technique from his list. The Flora Beast's relevant ability modifier for it's techniques is it's Dexterity. Ability Boost Monster creatures gain powerful racial bonuses to specific racially important ability scores. Creatures gain Ability buffs at levels 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14. The Ability boost is determined by what kind of creature it is.

A flora beast can hold a number of poisons within it's self equal to it's Constitution modifier, but can only ever use one at a time during a natural attack. Poisons removed from a Flora Beast lose their potency after 1 day. Flora Beasts are strange, mystical flowers, and as such contain a strange pollen within their bodies. Starting at 1st level, and every other level afterwards, they can select a new pollen ability. You can use pollen abilities a number of times per day equal to 3+your Dexterity modifier.

This works as a Black Tentacles spell centered on the Flora Beast that covers a 100 foot radius. This field lasts for 1 round per level and cannot be dispelled. In addition, 1 plant per 3 levels (Max 6) is animated as per the Animate plants Spell. The Flora Beast gains a +4 insight bonus to armor class and saving throws while in this field of flowers and it also gains a +20 bonus to all of it's move speeds.

- The Flora Beast is a recurring monster class in the Disgaea series. The Flora Beast's cute appearance is to deceive its enemies. Those who approach end up being strangled by vines. However, there are some so shy they will close themselves up in their petals and refuse to show their faces to anyone. They grow from seeds. Though initially thought to be an all female species, other titles, such as Disgaea 2 and Prinny 2 show that the Flora Beast can be born male. This could stem from the biological fact that plants are born with both male and female organs.
