Pod Plants are an enemy found in the video-game "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" and could have been inspired by countless vegetation-themed monsters in fiction such as Audrey II or the Triffids, and could also have been inspired (at least in name) by the Pod People. Pod Plants are a threat on several levels as they spawn many spikey weeds wherever they grow, creating obstacles that can only be overcome with the aid of a lawnmower. Secondly, they can fire blobs of harmful energy at a hero who ventures too near.
