A typically autotrophic mamono, Alraunes undergo startling changes to survive, a particular collection of adaptations is known as the change into a Dark Alraune.

This particular metamorphosis is triggered by the presence of vast amounts of demonic energy in the area around an Alraune, amd will accelerate with the buildup of the dark mana in their surroundings.

The initial changes are not so severe, first their body will sprout many vines from the roots, spreading far and wide to collect as much sunlight as possible.

Next, should they have a man, they will begin to produce large amounts of fruit, though quite similar to prisoner fruit in both taste and texture, it is far more fattening and is spherical in shape. This fruit, which they hurriedly feed to their man, is made to keep him nourished in the coming time of scarcity.

Next, they burrow thier roots deeper, and spread them far, linking with the roots of other plants nearby.

Once the eternal darkness (an unending eclipse, leaving little sunlight, if memory serves) which covers all dark demon realms arrives, they will tightly close their petals, holding close to their man, as the final stage begins.

They will begin to leech nutrients from surrounding life, their vines climbing and rooting into trees and shrubs, strangling animals and growing digestive sacs around them.

Only humans and monsters are spared by their voracious apetite, all else being devoured to joun the expanding tangle of blackening vines.

All of these nutrients are used to supplement their own photosynthetic capabilities, while they slowly turn black as pitch to gather more energy from their diminished sunshine.

Once full conversion of their pigmentation occurs, they will begin to use the nutrients which they steal to produce a fruit less fattening, and more laden with demonic energy.

The seeds held within this fruit are indeed fertilized, and the inhibitions of those women who eat it are consumed by the seed which grows throughout their body and soul, in this way, Dark Alraunes "Seed" the desires of women and monsters, converting them into lustful daughters who greedily seek men who they can also make fruit with, further spreading their progeny.

With regards to the seeded ones, they are not truly Dark Alraunes from the first bite, but will slowly change to become an odd Hybrid of whatever they were and a Dark Alraune, for instance, a hellhound would keep her paws and unnatural strength, and a lamia her tail, though the flower they come to inhabit may take many forms as a result.

In the Lamia case, her roots would burrow deep, and a massive pitcher plant structure would sink into the ground, with her at the bottom, ready to catch a husband and "eat him up."
