Triffid 2
The upper part of a triffid can be referred to as the head, although it does not contain the usual sensory organs associated with an animal's head. It consists of a brightly colored, hollow, flower like aperture that resembles the top of a Heliamphora or Darlingtonia californica. The head houses a triffid's sting. The flower also contains a mucilage type liquid which is seen ensnaring insects, although other purposes are unknown.
A triffid's sting is a flat paddle-like appendage on a flexible stalk that protrudes from the head of a triffid like a stamen or tongue. When attacking, a triffid will lash out at its target using its sting, primarily aiming for its prey's face or head, and with considerable speed and force. The sting leaves behind a distinctive rectangular welt with linear cuts running along it. Often traces of dark green triffid venom are visible in the wound.
Triffid venom is fast-acting and can fell a victim almost instantly.
