K-G giant cannibal plant

A "cannibal plant" was one of the native life forms of the planet K-G. It fed by generating an internal vacuum which sucked its prey into its maw. It was called a cannibal not because it ate its own kind, but because it ate humans.

In 2266, a cannibal plant attempted to eat a USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) landing party, but were rescued by Crewman Hunt, who had been transformed into a plant himself, but retained enough intelligence to attack and kill the cannibal plant at the cost of his own life.
