Usually mistaken for a sapling in its native rain forests, Paraphox is content to stay still during daylight hours. At sundown, it comes to life, using a flammable mushroom as a torch to attract unsuspecting Bug types.
It gazes into the flame at the tip of its branch to achieve a focused state, which allows it to see into the future. Paraphox are known to infest the roots of large trees en masse and drain nutrients.
