Treldon
NOTES:
It might seem as a stronger version of Otyugh, but the need to survive the attack first limits the usability, as does the out of element cost.

In case of multiple Flytraps, each one will block a different creature. If an Adrenaline'd creature kills the first Flytrap, the others will not block following attacks in that turn.

This is actually quite an interesting concept, Treldon. I could see this being a decent card to use against FFQ Decks, RoL Hope decks, and in general just low atk creature spam decks. Nice work. ;)

Some questions:

1. There are multiple Flytraps on your field and you use Attract with all of them. How does that work out?

2. Creatures with Adrenaline?

Also, I'd say you should raise the attack gain, because honestly, even if the attackers are small, if they're above one or two in attack power, this thing will die before it can even do any damage worth the amount of quanta invested. Maybe +2|+1 for unupped and +2|+2 for upped?

And nitpick: Survives, not surives

And also, you need a comma after "survives".

Check your spelling, "surives" --> missing V.

Consider rewording the ability?

That's not quite what the ability is though. Your wording implies that all creatures will attack rather than only the first.

Some questions:

1. There are multiple Flytraps on your field and you use Attract with all of them. How does that work out? They would block attacks either in order of ability activation, or simply based on tile order

2. Creatures with Adrenaline? If you mean it with 1 Flytrap on the field, it would only block the first attack - just like IRL, Flytraps are slow, they open up slowly once they are closed. With multiple Flytraps, if creature is not eaten by the first it is free to keep on attacking, other Flytraps will block (or not)  the other creatures.

Also, I'd say you should raise the attack gain, because honestly, even if the attackers are small, if they're above one or two in attack power, this thing will die before it can even do any damage worth the amount of quanta invested. Maybe +2|+1 for unupped and +2|+2 for upped? Flytrap is sort of an Armagio-Otyugh hybrid. It is not meant to deal lots of damage but as protection and cc. :life has plenty other creatures to deal the damage. Still, changed to +1|+2 I +2|+2 because I think the HP gain is a more important factor (for survival)

And nitpick: Survives, not surives
And also, you need a comma after "survives".  Both fixed

Consider rewording the ability?

As AD pointed out, Gravity Pull is an existing ability with a specific effect. Using existing names for different effects is not a good idea as it would confuse people

If a creature with negative ATK hits Flytrap, will it heal Flytrap prior to being devoured?

Haven't thought of that. But seeing how AM'd creatures bypass GP and heal you I think they should also heal you and then be consumed

Ah I misunderstood the ability. In that case I think the wording is fine (though I would add a period... not that half the cards in Elements have one ;) ).
