"It had a mouth like that of a great beast, and gnashed its teeth as it strained to reach us. I am thankful it possessed no means of locomotion." —Vervamon the Elder

Where it came from
Released in August 1994, Carnivorous Plant was a part of The Dark, the fifth expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Coming on the heels of the game's initial explosive popularity, this set was designed by Jesper Myrfors and Christopher Rush to introduce a darker, more macabre aesthetic that contrasted with the high-fantasy tropes of the base game. It represents a period in the game's history where design language was still being experimental and atmospheric.
The artwork for Carnivorous Plant was illustrated by Quinton Hoover. Known for his distinctive, flowing style and use of vibrant, often surreal color palettes, Hoover aimed to capture the predatory and organic menace of the flora found in the game's lore. While not a competitively dominant card in tournament play, it is recognized by collectors for Hoover's unique artistic contribution, which solidified his reputation as one of the most recognizable contributors to the game's visual identity during its formative years.
