Artwork of a death flower from Final Fantasy Adventure
The Death Flora, also known as Death Flower or Lullabud, is a recurring enemy in the Mana series. It is a carnivorous plant lurking in marshes or forests adept at concealing themselves in a patch of flowers to lure their prey in. They make an appearance in almost all Mana games.
Death Floras hide their mouth with their large pink petals rolled up like an unopened flower bud. Once they see an opportunity to strike, they swiftly open them to gnaw at their opponent and uproot themselves to allow greater mobility. The flower monster had multiple redesigns over the years. In Final Fantasy Adventure and Secret of Mana, the Lullabud has a small yellow mouth at the center of its large pink petals. In Legend of Mana, the mouth has fused into a single petal, producing a more bulb-like appearance. In Sword of Mana, Children of Mana and other re-releases, the Death Flora has a more accentuated mouth with shorter red petals around it. Its final design is a cross between its original and the latter one.
The Lullabud thrives in multiple biomes, but need a water source and plenty of sunshine for its subsistance. It is commonly encountered in forests, water banks, open fields, marshes, etc.
Death Floras harvest their energy from the soil and sunlight and therefore are often resistant against Dryad & Wisp magic. Conversely, they fear Salamander, Aura or Luna, and Shade spells.
Lullabuds have a few other species sharing similar traits with them.
Trap Flowers are blue to purple variants that often live in colder climates.
The Dark Death Flora is a souped-up version of the regular enemy in Sword of Mana. As with any other Dark enemies, it only shows up once the player has defeated 1,000 Death Floras.
The Death Flower is an enemy only found in the Marshes. They erratically move in all eight directions and can inflict the poison status on contact. It is however weak to the Axe and has low HP and defense power. It yields few experience and gold upon being slain, but also has a chance of dropping a chest holding an Antidote.
Lullabuds are weak enemies found all around the Gaia Lowlands. They are often the first enemy the player encounters in the game that can inflict a status aliment should they walk around carelessly. They enjoy concealing themselves through patches of flowers and make surprise attacks when party members approach them. Not only can they poison allies, but they can cast Sleep Flower to make them unconscious for a while.
Lullabuds are plant-type enemies found in Luon Highway and the Mindas Ruins. They can physically attack by using their biting strike or use their tendrils to whip up their foes. They also inflict poison by releasing a toxic powder. Defeating them often nab the player some seeds. Enemy Lullabuds are orange while friendly ones are pink.
Players can get their hands onto a pet Lullabud if they look for a plant monster egg around the Jungle or Lake Kilma. Its Synchro ability grants players a defense boots against plant monster attacks.
The Mana Orchard quest allows the player to grow produce should they help Treant by getting rid of the invasive Lullabuds in their backyard.
Death Floras are plant-type enemies with hearing as their sole sense. They can be found growing in the Scaly Lair and inside the Marsh Cave. They are easily defeated by slashing weapons of by casting Shade or Luna magic at them. They can poison allies with their spores.
