* Another deadly Australian tree is the Bunya Pine. Sure, it may not seem that way at first and its nuts are even a delicacy. But for half of the year, people are in danger from falling pinecones. This may seem ridiculous to anyone familiar with North American or European pinecones, but Bunya Pines can grow up to over 10 stories in height, and the cone can grow to be the size of a large beach ball and weigh as much as the average ''toddler''. As such, these suckers pack a ''much'' bigger punch than most other pinecones and have caused not only vehicle damage but both serious and ''fatal'' injuries. The only reason people can safely harvest the nuts of these damn trees is because they went and climbed up the pines ''before'' the cones are set to fall, which the native aborigines have done for decades.

** ''Literature/{{Spellsinger}}': The [[FungusHumongous giant mushrooms]] of the Muddletup Moors prey on travelers with an empathic attack, then absorb their nutrients as they decompose.

** ''Literature/{{Spellsinger}}': The [[FungusHumongous giant mushrooms]] of the Muddletup Moors prey on travelers with an empathic attack, attack that causes their victims to simply lose the will to live, then absorb their nutrients as they decompose.decompose. There are also pine trees that sometimes drop exploding pine cones that act like land mines when unsuspecting animals kick or bite them.

Compare PlantAliens and {{Treants}} (which need not be hostile, but fit this trope when they are) and ManEatingPlant. If you see lots of these as PlantMooks, it might indicate that you are in {{Mordor}} or a GardenOfEvil or on a DeathWorld. If your trees are attacking you, it may be a sign that they're {{epileptic|Trees}}. Or not...
