The Gnashturtium is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, introduced in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line.
It is a blue Chewlip that eschews sleep breath for spewing foul poisons instead. The weed is so toxic that even its normal attacks have a chance to envenom adventurers. Its name is a pun on the flower nasturtium and the English verb "gnash".
Characteristics
Gnashturtiums are giant carnivorous flowers that are taller than a full-grown man. They have blue petals with orange spots surrounding a maw lined with sharp fangs, pink leaves, yellow stems and roots, and green vines that swing about its body like tentacles. Like its bretheren, it is based on the Rafflesia Arnoldi flower.
