9	''Floraverse'' is an UrbanFantasy UsefulNotes/{{Furry\|Fandom}} Webcomic by glitchedpuppet (also known for ''Fanfic/PMDExplorers'') that sports a large cast of vibrant and diverse creatures all living in a world rich with both magic and technology. The story is [[KudzuPlot rather complex]], spanning various forms of media beyond the webcomic itself. The main storyline, known as "Seeds", generally involves the journey of Min (a [[BirdPeople "pygmy pyzky"]]) and Cress (a [[BlobMonster "frostdrop"]]) to get the eponymous seeds to where they need to be and save their home, running into various allies and adversaries along the way.

13	!!Tropes found in ''Floraverse'':
14	* AbsurdlySharpBlade: The "Sharptastic Blade", made with "space-age technology" and is being sold by a salesman who Cayenne clearly notes is a [[BodySnatcher hanged man]].
15	* AllThereInTheManual: Floraverse is a transmedia story that is told within the webcomic, as well as games, written stories, visual novels, and roleplay. Without playing Lunar Depot 38, you'd never learn [[spoiler:the origin of Andre or that the Angels have [[WeaksauceWeakness a fatal allergy to paint.]]]]
16	* AmbiguouslyHuman: The civilization seen in the prologue to "Seeds". They appear to be humanoid, but we never get enough visual clarity to make a full conclusion.
17	* BlobMonster: Cress is "frostdrop", a creature made out of blue goop that can change into different shapes.
18	* DigYourOwnGrave: Done by Min on a beach in Polaris, after being temporarily abandoned by Cress.
19	* EarsAsHair: Ceyenne apparently sees no problem with wearing his many ears as hair, even putting them into a bun. He doesn't like it when you call them a "spider mop" though.
20	* HotterAndSexier: ''Forbidden Flora'' is an NSFW sidecomic that explores the sex life of the cast in the background of the main story.
21	* LawOfCartographicalElegance: The Citrico Archipelago is specifically designed to look like a bunch of fruit when viewed on a map. Additionally, the continent of Owel resembles the shape of an owl, and the continent of Eastar resembles the shape of a rabbit, with a collection of eggs nearby.
22	* MindScrew: In a nutshell, ''Floraverse'' consists of two different stories; the high-fantasy play, and the EldritchAbomination actors angsting over getting it wrong. Plotholes and pitfall endings cause cutesy-looking monster protagonists to turn into [[Creator/HPLovecraft Lovecraftian]] horrors with an equally titanic depression streak. Over time, the author's avatars develop a sense of sanity and optimism to get the actors back on track.
23	* ThePlace: The comic is named after the Floraverse, the main setting of the series.
24	* ShoutOut:
25	** Several characters are named after demons from ''Literature/ArsGoetia'', including Furfur, Beleth, Orobas, and Amdusias.
26	** Many of the designs also take cues from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' characters. Min and Cress were confirmed to be based on Celebi and Manaphy, respectively.
27	* OddFriendship: Somehow, Min is friends with Cress despite having aquaphobia. As stated in the character profiles, it's like having a giant spider as a friend if you're arachnophobic.
28	* InterspeciesRomance: Imps are able to change their physiology over time, and may reproduce with practically any species regardless of biological class or reproductive organs.
