The Trenconian tumbleweeds and other flora, in the Lensman series.

There's various descriptions of nasty fauna in the Eastern quadrant of Creation
in White Wolf's Exalted series, including the incredibly creepy Forest of Arms,
one small (relatively) area where _everything_ living is deadly poisonous, and
a glass-type forest with extreme slashing damage danger. Exalted's Malfeas,
the exile-dimension/demon-king-turned-inside-out, also has no natural
vegetation, but has things like the metallic forest that is the Yozi (elder
demon, formerly a Primordial) Szoreny, with sundry hazards involved.
