"The Time Dragons"
A mysterious meteorite sent Godzilla, along with Godzooky and the Calico crew, back in time to a prehistoric rainforest. Pete was distracted by a butterfly, which he chased away from the rest of the crew to a strange plant. The butterfly landed on the plant, and Pete quickly realized it was part of the plant itself. He tried to walk away, but the plant seized him with vines and began dragging him towards it. He noticed a skeleton near the plant and immediately after a large mouth appeared near its top. Pete's cries for help alerted Godzooky and Brock. Godzooky tried to fight the plant, but it ensnared him too. Brock and Godzooky rolled a boulder into the Carnivorous Plant's mouth, tricking it into thinking it was fed and letting them go. As Pete and his saviors left, he heard a sickly burp from the dissatisfied plant.
Abilities
Vines
The Carnivorous Plant has an extendable butterfly-shaped tendril which it uses to lure its unsuspecting prey, as well as strong, prehensile, whip-like vines beneath it. It proved deceitful enough to lure in Pete and used its vines to drag him towards its mouth.
Weaknesses
The Carnivorous Plant will let go of its prey if it is tricked into swallowing something else, even a large rock.
