The line between animal and plant differences are hazy and ambiguous. Creatures that have completely differences can mate together, and often do. Many species of talyxian plant can move around like animals. They do not have chlorophyll like Eltus plants, but they can also obtain energy by photosynthesis, rock decomposition and geothermal conversion. Mainly talyxian plants have colors including red, purple, white, gray and black. Like all other talyxians they cannot metabolize salt and upon eating a creature that contains salt, will excrete "hizomi-nonbon" to dispose the consumed salt.
