It binds itself to trees in marshes. It attracts prey with its sweet-smelling drool and gulps them down.

When using Carnivine's "Return" attack, do I have to draw until there are five cards in my hand, or may I stop with less than five?

You do not have to draw any cards, but if you choose to do so you must end up with exactly five cards in your hand; no more, no less.

If Dhelmise does "Giga Drain" and the Defending Pokemon only has 10 HP left, does Dhelmise still heal itself for 30 damage?

Yes, because the 30 damage is still done, even though it is more than enough to KO the Defending Pokemon.
