Bloodstalk

Jungles and thicker wooded areas are plagued by carnivorous plants of all shapes and sizes. One of the few lethal to larger creatures, including humanoids, is the Bloodstalk.

When motionless it blends perfectly with other kinds of vines, but upon sensing the movement of prey it blindly lashes out much like a snake to strike with a venomous “mouth” at the end of its body. The bright red flower-like mouth is lined with venomous thorns that cause paralysis.

Size: Medium
Type: Plant – Carnivorous
Behavior: Aggressive
Ability: Ensnare – The vines wrap around a foe, much like a large constrictor, and attempt to strangle or crush their prey.
