Carnegia

Carnegias are a strange species of spherical cactuses found within the Akaptor desert. They are highly adapted to desert life and sentient, to a certain extent. They can be seen rolling about the sand dune, even without any wind. They do it by shifting their weight in the direction they want to go. It's an agressive plant that will attack any creature passing nearby. Larger Carnegias are capable of capturing a human-sized creature, making it easy for a Predator to catch it. Moreover, immediately upon capturing a living creature the Carnegia will begin to draw moisture and the nutrients it needs to survive from the victim, eventually killing it. Sometimes, Carnegias will form herds that can become very dangerous for lone travelers. Rolling around also helps them to disperse their seeds which, unlike those of their cousin the sageras, are not explosive. When Carnegias are opened, their insides are revealed to be filled with hundreds of small, juicy arils. These are edible and are quite tart in flavor.
