Bambou

Bambou (pronounced bam-boo, the end sound more ghost-like) (plural and singular form) are bamboo-like creatures that are ghostly white, sessile or stationary, and are segmented like the plant bamboo. They have mouths at the top and unblinking dot eyes. Its leaves filter feed the air of things like dust; so thus windy areas are a good spot. Their roots do not form 'clumps' but are used to anchor themselves, so they can be on objects like a rock. They are typically found vertically, with their mouth-like part in the air, but some can be found horizontal, say on a side of a cavern.

Lifecycle
Bambou start out as eggs that resemble fish eggs, which are cared for at the bottom of the adult, inside. They also fill the hollow and flexible (but sturdy) roots. After being hatched (at a minuete size that is around the head of a pin size), they then move (with some mental ushering) upwards of their parent's body, many going into the leaves. They are then fed whatever is caught on the leaves - mainly dust, which contains micro creatures.

When ready Bambou are then dispersed from the adults from the mouth so offspring can get in flight. Inmature bambou then fly around, with their bodies horizontal and a wispy black tail to turn (which later changes into the roots when mature). They are around a few inches long, already being cared for within the hollow body and leaves. These babies can hobble around on land if needed, but they hunt in the air - unlike, in their peaceful adult stage, these young are carnivores that need to eat. Prey mainly consists of birds.
