Genetrix Vesana
Spoiler Warning: This page contains spoilers which may affect your IVAN experience negatively
Genetrix Vesana is the mother carnivorous plant. The player needs to kill (or move) Genetrix in order to get out of the Underwater Tunnel. Apparently, according to Kaethos, she is the result of a horrifying science experiment.
"Some time ago Attnamese military alchemists managed to crossbreed the carnivorous plant and the pineapple tree. They named the result Genetrix Vesana and discovered it was a powerful hunter. The colonists tried to transport it to Attnam through the underwater tunnel but never arrived in the destination."
"Jenny" in all her glory

Location
She is always on the stairway upwards leading out of the Underwater Tunnels level 3.
Appearance and abilities
She can't move by herself, and can only attack the player in melee. As long as she is alive, carnivorous plants will spontaneously sprout around the player while he is in UT3. The plants get stronger the longer the player remains on the level.
When she is killed, Genetrix drops 3 pineapples and a corpse.
Tactics
- Being completely immobile, Genetrix is extremely vulnerable to thrown objects and wands.
- To avoid fighting Genetrix completely, simply zap her with a wand of teleport and proceed up the stairs.
- Alternatively, if you get a Belt of Levitation (most likely through a wish), you can skip her (and the rest of the UT) by flying to Attnam on the world map.
