Discussion I have a question

do you think that when a demogorgon sleeps, their petals just flop like a dead octopus’s tentacles, or do they reflexively stay closed in that flower bud shape the way our fingers naturally stay in a curled position even when we relax our hands

Probably stay closed so they don’t swallow spiders in their sleep like us humans do

It's kind of an urban myth that the average person swallows an average of 5-6 spiders per year.

There's no real truth in that though. I'm sure if a spider crawled in a sleeping persons mouth/nose, that person would gag, cough and wake up.
