On the reverse side David Berube writes:

"This creature is a hybrid created by toxic waste combining with insect larvae & hatching in the pods of the insanitateous vinus plant. This creature, although harmless looking, will engulf it's victim with it's vine-like appendages & strangle to death it's prey."

Now that's a cold embrace!
