A ambient, calm and usualy a water plant, the Nymphaeaceae is nothing you want to mess with, ironicly. Yes, their leafes float soft and calm. But. When it is wartime, the leafe rise, abandoning the flowers crown, and attack while floating in mid-air. They continiuesly drop leace on the ground, that terminates all living creatures that comes in contact. However, as how threatening as they may sound, they are also weak; one unlucky hit will result in a crash into the nearest enemy. Even if it survives the war, the lack of energy from the crown makes it abandoned, without being able to return, makes it inevitabely rotten. Big risk, big reward.
