Elevator Pitch: A cactus embodying the phrase "the ends justify the means" seeks vengeance on any who do an immoral act in front of it. When witnessing someone doing an act it deems as wrong, it whips into a frenzy and tries to stab the aggressor with one (or multiple) of its spikes laced in poison. This frenzy won't stop until the aggressor has been successfully stabbed, or otherwise viciously injured through other methods.

Central Narrative: Once revered as a god-like figure, the creature has fallen far from grace and acts on its own sense of justice. That form of justice however is much more perverted, liking to the harshest forms of legalism. Additionally, the creature dislikes communication with others leading to its increased aggravation.

Hook/Attention-Grabber: While it has morals, it thinks itself to be the "divine arbiter of justice" and thus above its own morals allowing it to not have qualms about stabbing others (presumably to death).

Additional Notes: Theoretical usage of the creature as a lie-detector has been thought about, but not performed due to the volatile nature of the stabbing.
