Going at this under the expectation that it, along with the Necrostinker, would be among the earliest post-Moonchyllus mobs. Funnily enough, a sunflower mob was one of Robby's earliest monster ideas, only it would've just spat seeds instead. Here's what I got.:
Name: Sunflower
HP: 360
Defense: 50
Power: 150
EXP: 85 (calculated)
Description: Empowered by sunlight, the Sunflower is more durable and more powerful than both Logons and Leaflings. While it is a relative to Petunias and Fernips, it can take blows from Grunts without breaking a sweat. Offensively, while it physically isn't the most harmful creature, it's can convert sunlight into bursts of energy capable of one-shotting Tesla Crawlers. When necessary, the sunflower can charge up a powerful solar burst strong enough to make elephants and Auroch Beetles run off. Despite its power, Sunflowers only use its attacks to defend itself. While it does subsist on sunlight, the Sunflower conserves energy by eating insects, rodents, frogs and small lizards. The seeds of sunflowers on Eliatopia are oddly more nutrient-rich than earthly sunflower seeds, sacrificing fat for higher protein content and significant levels of vitamin D. Sunflowers are more intelligent than Eliatopians, which isn't saying much as most Eliatopians are observed to be less intelligent than preschoolers. I would know, as Moonchyllus herself, I'm still questioning how Eliatopians hadn't gone extinct from their own stupidity.
Now for the drops, I'm gonna try and get it's loot value above 300 since ideally we would need to give players a sense of progression after defeating Moonchyllus.

That seems about right. Kinda like Rafflesias when it comes to loot: fairly decent yet fairly common loot. Mhmm. So yeah, that's that.
