Sunray

The Sunray is a large, carnivorous plant that is found in the shady areas of the Forests of Silence.

Secrets of Deltora
Sunrays were observed by Doran and recorded in his guide, Secrets of Deltora.

Habitat
Sunrays can be found in all three the woods of the Forests of Silence.

Anatomy
The long, fleshy leaves of it, which can be as long as a man is tall, stretches out from the centre which resembles a pile of red berries and lie flat to the ground, forming an almost perfect circle easily mistaken for a patch of sunlight.

Behaviour
Any living thing that unwarily walks upon a Sunray is quickly trapped and devoured as the leaves snap shut with astonishing speed, furling to form a thick spear. In order to make a Sunray release someone, one need to burns it with a lighted torch. A Sunray will make a purring sound when fully fed. This is the only sound it is capable of making.

Diet
A Sunray's usual prey consits of Wenn, birds, snakes, wood mice and Leaf Creepers, but large speciemens can and do trap and digest humans at average size.
