So, the more I tinker with the Baleen world the more I get ideas for the plant life.

For example, their whole world isn't a mist desert. If you follow along the coastline you'll eventually hit a tropical region full of mangroves and other plant life.

The "pampas grass" mangroves are plants that thrive in brackish water. The outside bark is thick and tough, the upper half being flexible enough to open and close. The "grass" portion of the plant is used for spreading seeds. So, of course, the plant doesn't want that eaten by other critters (Or used for textiles by the Baleens!) So they'll try to close up tight when they sense a threat.

Unluckily for them, the "Tall Cousins" have little pseudo arms that aid them in prying the protective bark open. Tall Cousins are related to the Baleens in a similar way as humans are related to Great Apes. The family resemblance is there, but the genetic split is very far down the line. They're fairly laid back as long as they know someone is there. But if you try to be sneaky and spook them, they will stomp you or try to charge you. Like any big herbivore, they'll throw down to defend themselves.

Walking plants, meanwhile, are carnivorous plants that can slowly move from place to place on their elevated, shallow roots. They attract prey with the pools of water they keep in their cones. They have semi-aquatic relatives who act almost like jellyfish, but their trap is the presumed shelter their hoods would provide- until the prey is inside it and cannot escape back out.
