Description
These plants look like ivy. They are capable of moving and grabbing creatures that brush by them. When a creature brushes by this plant 1d6 tentacles will attack the person who brushed it. Each tentacle does 1d2 points of damage and sucretes a fatal poison (type F), unless a saving throw versus poison is made.
Each tentacle only can take one hit point of damage before it becomes useless. The plant has a number of vines (tentacles) equal to the number of hit points of the plant's core. To kill the plant the core stack must be severed. The vines are 2-6 feet long.
