@ Anon: Really, I'll choose to disagree with your assessment of #3. You can love peace, yet still be willing to make with the murder when it's a matter of self defense, which is exactly what it was. Had the plants been allowed to continue as they were, there's no telling how many lives would have been lost''. Grant you, once they were out she did'' have the option of cordoning the place off until the plants simply died out naturally, but there still would have been the possibility of airborn seeds setting down elsewhere, in more-fertile soil elsewhere and starting the whole cycle again.

Besides that, in an odd way being nearly wiped out proved to be beneficial for the plants, as it forced an evolution. Going the old way, they either would have been hunted to extinction or they would have been starved out.

@Ilias: I'd actually agree with that argument. That said, it then begs the question: In KC's world, what defines a monster? Because those plants seemed pretty monstrous by human standards even in the old days. Maybe the thing that set them apart was a lack of Demonic Energy in their makeup? If so, it would explain why the Tentacle Plants eventually started evolving into the Tentacle mamono.
