Anemones are marine invertebrates that make a small appearance in DreamWorks Dragons franchise.
Description
Anemones are underwater animals of the Order Actiniaria. Their name comes from a terrestrial flower (The Blue Anemone, which is also seen in School of Dragons). They are closely related to the jellyfish, however the anemones do not have a medusa stage - a gelatinous "head" with tentacles lifecycle form.
The anemones are mostly fixed on the surfaces beneath them, but they can become mobile in situations that would be fatal to them like the lack of its food - fish.
The body of an anemone is called a 'polyp'. On the top of it are the tentacles and the mouth. The tentacles contain small cells with venom used for hunting as well as for defense.

Function
There is no function for the anemone in the Franchise, and is seen only for educational purposes.
In real life however, they are kept by humans as ornamental decorations in aquariums. Anemone reproduce slowly, and harvesting of wild anemone for aquariums has reduced their numbers. Anemonia sulcata is eaten in some countries.
