ANGELUSPROUT

Chapter 79
Angelusprout. This plant is capable of taking up its roots and moving. Its roots are only planted while it is drinking water. The plant consists mainly of a brown sprout, with roots of the same colour, and a green leaf shaped like a wing. Its flower is a yellow bulb in the shape of a bell. After reaching twenty one months of age the yellow bulb flower becomes the largest part of its body, and is predominantly bell shaped. It has a second wing shaped leaf which is used like a knife due to its extreme sharpness. Other attack abilities come from the Angelusprout's acidic pollen, which it can spread at will to immobilize perceived enemies. A second acid from the Angelusprout's belly can literally melt its target. A fluid inside the Angelusprout may also neutralize the acids, so the plant contains its own cure. When fully grown, the Angelusprout has a leaf over the top of the flower, which hides the large space inside. Angelusprout's are carnivorous plants, and may eat everything from small animals to a three year old child. In order to attract its meals, the Angelusprout gives off a sweet honey scent. The acids inside the Angelusprout help it to consume such large creatures (and people, given the chance). In life threatening situations, fire should be used to combat the Angelusprout. Freezing spells can be equally effective. Generally speaking, the Angelusprout is more comfortable facing physical attacks than magical attacks. Using your wand to fight the Angelusprout already provides an advantage.


The Angelusprout moves quicker with strong direct sunlight upon it. Less confident wizards should only work with this plant at night or in the evening, so as to become more competent with the plant. It grows to a height of two feet and four inches in its first year, and tends to weigh a little under nine pounds. In the next year it'll reach three feet three, and be about fourteen pounds. Its final height is five feet, and can weigh thirty-four pounds. At night, the plant will rest by hanging from trees with its stem. Herbologists see this as a sort of sleep or hibernation. Sometimes the plant will slip and fall, which may (or may not) wake the plant up. Angelusprout tend to gather in clusters.

SOMETHING EXTRA -

The four plants you learned about all relate to one creature you will learn about soon in Care of Magical Creatures: the Crup. The Crup is a wizard-bred dog known for its forked tail. However, what isn’t well known is that Crups are omnivores, so they will eat anything and everything. This can cause several different issues, such as reactions to toxins from different plants while they forage and explore. The plant that can affect Crups the most among what is covered today is the Angelusprout.

Because the Angelusprout uses a honey smell to attract its prey, Crups are often venturing towards the plant. More often than not, the Crup will try to move the leaf that covers the top of the plant, getting nipped in the nose. Crups use their wolf-given instincts to maneuver away, but not before their paw or leg gets caught in the Angelusprout.

It is for this reason that it is essential to have fencing around any Angelusprouts in your area if you have Crups. When applying for your Crup Licence, there is a question asking how you plan to protect your Crup from natural predators, and you do need to be prepared to discuss Angelusprouts if they are in your area. It is best to establish a three to five foot chain link fence around the area. This ensures that the Crups cannot jump over the fence. But what about digging under? Dig out the ground at least one foot, and then lay the chain link fence, reburying the one foot section. This makes sure that the Crups cannot get under the fence, and they tend to dig only six to eight inches before changing their interest to a closer, more accessible plant.


If you find that your Crup is caught in an Angelusprout, it is best to use fire to severe the head. If you can sever the main part of the plant, it will lose its strength, allowing you to free your Crup. Because they start their digestion so quickly, there will be acid burns on your Crup. Immediately use a Freezing Charm on the area, to help stop the spread of the acid, and take your Crup to a magiveterinarian. They can apply different salves or recommend potions to use, depending on the type and amount of burns.
