Y is for… Ya-te-veo
The Ya-te-veo (literally “I see you”) is, as far as anyone knows, only described by Buel in his book Sea and Land. Since it’s found in both Africa and South America, it’s either a Wegenerian miracle or an amalgamation of all carnivorous plant tall tales. It tends to look like a comfy seat before snaring people in its spiked tentacles and giving them the Iron Maiden treatment. Excellent!
A Book of Creatures 
I imagined it more like the Butchertree for Wayne Barlowe’s “Expedition”

I-see-you sounds like an actually ominous name. Also, where does it act as a seat? On a boat;on a beach, does it swim around as a seat?

On land, in vegetated areas presumably

If your stupid enough to sit down on a seat in the middle of nowhere, your kind of asking for it.

I appreciate the fact that it looks like a horrible murder-Welwitschia. Well chosen.
Also, wouldn’t “Ya te veo” be “*Now* I see you”, not just “I see you”? Or is this one of those thing where I don’t quite understand South American dialects of Spanish?

Only literally. It’s closer to a “I’m seeing you” or “I’ll see you”.
The “ya” in this case is just a weird way of explaining that the action happens. “Ya te digo” means “I’ll tell you in a second” in my country (Uruguay) but in Spain is similar to “Boy, I’m telling you”.
It’s use varies according to the dialect used in the country you are from but it’s logic, let’s say, stays the same.

Is this what Ochu from Final Fantasy and Otyugh from D&D is based upon?

Don’t think so, but there is a resemblance!
