Nah, then he'd just be a generic maneating plant. This, my good sir, is Jerry, and he has a rather long list of oddities.
*Copypaste inbound*
- He's big enough to eat an adult human.
- He understands every language in the world.
- He can only say "meep", and that not in any sequence. Only singular "meep"s.
- He never changes facial expression, with the exception of opening his mouth to "meep" or eat.
- He rarely reacts to things happening around him.
- It is completely impossible to communicate with him properly.
- He will eat the first suitable meal that comes around when hungry.
- There is no indicator of him being hungry, so send in a meal in advance to avoid getting chomped.
- The large thorns on his stalk are poisonous.
- He has an odd habit of appearing at the most weird places you can imagine. (he once surprised a group of mountain climbers on the summit of the mountain)
- He is fixed to the ground, like most plants are.
- If killed (or just hurt), he will suddenly appear again, unharmed and without grudges. The "killer" can get away, unless Jerry happens to be hungry.
- When he suddenly appears anywhere, it always happens when nobody is looking.
So yeah. Googly eyes are part of his... Self.
