After a discussion in deadchat about how maneaters aren't as good as they once were, or at least seemed, I had an idea for either a maneater overhaul or a new botany traitor plant.
The little shop of horrors.
A fairly expensive cost, so much that you could only grow one in a round. It can only be planted in a screwed down plant pot and can't be moved once it grows. It stays stationary but grows lasher vines and other such plants in the surrounding area (the distance it can spread being linked to how much it's grown/eaten).
The idea of this item would be that it would start out as a small stationary maneater that you have to feed, but as you fed it, it would spread and infest more and more of the station. It would kill victims with its lashers and other vine like weapons, and then pull them in to be eaten. Of course it can easily be killed like any normal plant, and due to the location of botany that might not be the best place to set it up, so reaching weed killing items might not be too much of a problem. Just a fun item botanists could play around with.
