The Blue Claw is a rare and exotic species, endemic to New Zealand. It stands out with its vibrant blue color and is one of few plants with the ability to generate and harness electricity. The ultra sensitive stamen of the Blue Claw sticks out in hundreds wire-like tendrils. The stamen also allows the plant to receive information about its surroundings and react to threats.
The sensitivity of the Blue Claw is impressive, and can be used for both defense and sustenance. When an insect is detected near the plant's sensitive tendrils, it can generate a small electrical charge that is used to shock and disorient.
In addition to its defensive capabilities, the Blue Claw can store electrical energy in its stems and roots, which it can then use to power its own growth and reproduction, enabling the Blue Claw to thrive in even the most inhospitable environments, where other plants would struggle to survive.
