so perhaps this will date me, and perhaps it’s been said before and i didn’t see it. but..
there is a movie from 1986 called little shop of horrors. in that movie, a plant is grown by feeding it human blood. once it gets bigger, it eats humans. it’s name was audrey…

this new back piece is grown and turns into maudrey.. who needs bloodstone dust to survive..

Must be Blood… Must be Dust… Must be trash!

<3 This backpiece. He’s like a cuter version of Audrey… Except, you know… Not evil, and all.

Actually, I find the flavor dialogue actually kinda cute, and the fact we can feed it and it gives us gifts is adorable.

Can say I am a big fan of this backpack!

As a random trivia, the 1986 movie was the movie version of a 1982 broadway musical, which was based on a low budget 1960 horror movie also called “Little Shop of Horros”…

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.

The 1960 movie had a young Jack Nicholson as the pain freak too – video quality is bad but still funny:

It’s not going to date you, it’s an extremely well known movie. I know kids who could recite 1/2 the lines.

It’s also the first thing I thought of when I saw the descriptions for the different stages of this item in the wardrobe. Between the movies references and the fact that it’s originally one of Mordremoth’s minions I can’t help wondering if we might end up with more than we bargained for from this item.

As long as it doesn’t suddenly start singing about being a mean green mother from outer maguma, we’re safe..

BTW, since we’re talking about the movie, here’s the original ending. In the original version, when Seymour pulls Audrey out of the plant, she’s badly injured and dies, so Seymour goes to fight Audrey II, but after it brings the ceiling down on him, grabs it out of the rubble and eats Seymour (like in the 1960 version), spitting out his glasses, then this happen:

That took 5 million dollars to make… but on test screenings people loved the movie until the main characters died, then hated it, so they had to change the ending to a happy one before release..

I rather preferred the one with Steve Martin in it.

Had that “I am your dentist” song stuck in my head for the longest time.
