Dahlian

Each Dahlian is a flower-based monster that ends in a serpent's tail rather than legs. The creatures emerge from the pink blooms scattered across the asteroid that Fiore calls home.

The Dahlians act as an extension of the Xenian Flower's malice rather than as thinking individuals. Their defining trait is relentless multiplication: every blow the guardians land only spawns more of them, letting the swarm overwhelm through sheer numbers.

When the Sailor Senshi tear into the creatures, their attacks backfire as the Dahlians keep breeding, until the mass piles onto the guardians and traps every one of them but Sailor Moon, whom Sailor Mars shoves out of harm's way. Fiore then warns Sailor Moon that he will kill her captured friends unless she lays down her fight, and she consents to stop. Moved by the depth of her devotion, Fiore frees the others, and in that moment the Xenian Flower's hold on him weakens and the surrounding Dahlians vanish. The Kisenian reasserts control and sets Fiore to draining Sailor Moon's strength, but just before the end Mamoru strikes him with a red rose, the shock scattering the last of the Dahlians into nothing. They carry the unusual footnote of being the sole monsters ever brought down by Tuxedo Mask, and the only ones killed through an indirect strike. Their name is drawn from the dahlia, a popular genus of flowering plants.
