** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosWonder'': The game introduces the Taily, a creature modeled after pitcher plants which hangs from the ceiling and have an elongated vine. Mario and his friends can pull this vine, allowing them to swing back and forth before jumping forward with great momentum. Tailies are not exactly docile, as they can drop Spike Balls and potentially harm whoever is hanging with the vines.

Per TRS, Just For Pun was renamed to Punny Trope Names due to misuse.


Unlike a PlantPerson, a Plant Mook is seldom a protagonist or viewpoint character. After all, WhatMeasureIsAMook In almost all cases, the Plant Mook's main purpose is to throw themselves at the heroes and get [[JustForPun mowed down like grass.]]

* ''VideoGame/Ashes2063'': Episode 2, ''Afterglow'', has both Matangos and Spore Mortars. The former is a mobile patch of weeds as aggressive as a panther and capable of spitting jets of acid at ''very'' high speeds, while the latter is a turret-like inflorescence that can launch gobs of spores like mortar shells, with the explosive power to match, at things that come close. Both are significantly deadlier than most wasteland mutants; luckily, in line with the usual trope, both are ''[[KillItWithFire very]]'' [[KillItWithFire vulnerable to fire]], and one of your best weapons is the [[FireBreathingWeapon Master Blaster]].

* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': ComicBook/PoisonIvy often grows her own army of mooks. It's also a particularly handy way to get around her disdain for men.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Nextwave}},'' the Beyond Corporation's "Human Resources" are genetically-modified kelp, grown in gardens, and driven by software. Their level of sentience is left ambiguous.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: While older Rykornians definitely have their own sense of self newly hatched/grown ones are fully functional and only follow the will of their king, which they know as soon as their about. This allows the king to quickly grow himself an army.
