Miscellaneous: Plane of Growth Plants should not be Plants

[Rygar]

I remembered seeing this old post here mentioning that PoG plants weren't classified as plants. Poster then seems to indicate that some had been fixed to plants and the post was moved to resolved.

However, during some ClassicQuest I stumbled upon this post indicating that nothing in PoG should be considered a plant (makes little sense to me but whatever!):

I tried casting the spell "Defoliation" on "a feral amalgame" in Plane of Growth, and got the message:

This spell only works on the plants.

I'm puzzled. Looks like a bug. It HAS to be a plant. It's a flower, with foliage, it appears to have roots, and leaves. It can't not be

Actually the Denizens of the Plane of Growth are considered to be Extra Planar creatures, which makes them unlike the normal plants that those spells work on.

Aye, and they also are under the direct protection of the Mother of All, as well as the magical properties of the Plane of Growth itself.

I do not have a necro to test the current state of everything in PoG, but hope this is evidence enough that nothing at all should be classified as a plant. Someone mentioned the animals were changed to actual animals, but I'm not sure if they also should be falling under this special category (Extra Planar creatures) in PoG.

Doesn't seem to make sense since undead are undead in Hate / Fear and PoM has animals / plants, but such is the inconsistencies of classic I suppose.
