Hoo-shroom
Our Martian can grow to 30 centimeters tall. The way Hoo-shroom is able to grow is by breathing in carbon dioxide and eating the iron oxide from Mars' surface to produce growth supplements that enables it to grow. Hoo-shrooms stem absorbs iron oxide from Mars' surface for food. Our Martian doesn't need water to survive. It gets its energy from the sun. Our Martian breathes in carbon dioxide and breathes out oxygen. Hoo-shroom is asexual and to reproduce one of the tentacles breaks off and creates a new stem and the new stem creates two new tentacles. In place of the old tentacle that broke off it just creates a new one. Our Martian tentacles, hair, head, teeth, and stem move but it cannot walk. Hoo-shroom is a very flexible creature and can move any but it is also very durable and can't get hurt. Our Martians teeth ward off any enemies that also live on Mars for example the indestructible plant eater, which eats our plant Hoo-shroom for food, but with his teeth he normally doesn't get eaten. Our Martian is a carbon dioxide based plant.
