Shathak

"In one of her/his/its more engaging/ receptive moods." Found very little about Shathak, hence, my perception is It as being somewhat jellyfish in physical nature with the overall being more aligned with the plant kingdom, especially with the "meat" eating part... they are so close to the animal kingdom that they are basically located at the living things branch that happens right before where animal and plant clearly seperate from each other. Shathak is one those enities that are still made of both sides.

One of the things that truly have "influenced" and touched me about Smith's material is his consistent concepts/themes of mixing plant and animal natures.
