It's pretty interesting, what sorts of deities exist out there. If you search hard enough, you can likely find a patron or patroness for anything!
Take Teletha for example. Teletha is the patron deity of... well, plants. Essentially, she's a giant nymphy goddess who presides over plants. Of course, she has her favorites... namely, the carnivorous varieties.
See, she's a little different than a nymph, or a dryad, or druid... she's not a tree-hugging, nature-obsessed airhead. She understands that folks need to cut down trees and move plants to expand. And in turn, she expects folks to understand that the plants won't -always- take it lying down. This is subject to her whim, of course... even a gentle young farmer, tending to his crops in the field, might find himself bound by vines as a nectar-drooling flower works its way over his head...
Being a goddess, she doesn't have a particular set size... it tends to be about seven and a half feet tall, but she's been noted at two feet tall for the shortest, and seventy-five for the tallest. Her hair goes aaaaalll the way down to her ankles, if you can't tell, and no, she never wears clothes. The little pasties? They're festive~ Shush.
So, as we've said, she's a plant goddess. Now, a lot of people say she's a goddess for carnivorous plants, but this isn't the case. She's a goddess of plants, which means that any plant she controls can -be- carnivorous. There's a difference. Dandelions aren't usually carnivorous, but that doesn't mean she can't make one smother and devour you. Get it?
Oh, and for the curious, she also ended up as the goddess of the various fungi... whoever assigned divine jobs just sorta lumped that in there, and while she doesn't mind it, she admits it's only got niche appeal~
So, what does a plant goddess do if she's not punishing sentient life for ruining her children? Mischief, of course. Her entire life is devoted to causing mischief and eating. And her mischief usually causes the eating, so it all works out, you see? Every time you're eaten by a plant or mushroom under her control, you're ending up in her belly... so while you might get slurped by a tulip, she gets full from it~
She has -total- control over plants, though... which is why she can make them carnivorous, of course. But that's not the only use. Turning a tiny kudzu creeper into a mass of powerful, writhing vines... sprouting crabgrass into an impenetrable wall... wrapping a friend up in a cocoon of soft flower petals to give them a soft bed... things like this are all within her power. She can really do anything she can think of, as long as it involves plants or fungi!
And this wouldn't be complete without letting you know that, indeed, she's able to eat you without the use of her plants! Her long, fluffy hair is her primary gobbletool, as it's like a mass of vines itself... after that, she prefers to slurp you up orally (her saliva is thick and gooey and sweet... much like nectar... and has a slight sedating effect. Beware her kisses~). She can do almost anything she wants here, too... bellyflesh, navel, bottom, nethers, bosom...
It's easy to have fun when you make the rules, after all. And when it comes to plants, and her own body (basically a plant in itself!) she makes the rules.
So next time you're out weeding your garden or mowing your lawn, you might want to be careful. No one wants to have 'Eaten By A Dandelion' on their tombstone.
