Carnivorous plants are predatory growths that lure, ensnare, and digest living prey. They take many forms: choking vines and strangleweed that coil around the unwary, hanging tendril-trees that haul victims aloft, snapping maw-traps that clamp shut, and sticky sundews that mire and dissolve. Rooted in place, they rely on camouflage and reach, blending into ordinary foliage until a creature brushes against them and the trap springs.

Behavior

  • Disguise themselves as harmless plants until prey comes within reach
  • Seize with vines, tendrils, or snapping leaves and constrict or crush
  • Haul or drag prey into a digesting maw or sticky bed
  • Cannot move or pursue; rely on ambush and reach

Abilities

  • Constricting Vines. Coiling growths that grapple and squeeze.
  • Snare & Haul. Tendrils that lift or drag prey toward the digesting body.
  • Adhesive Mire (sundew type). Sticky surfaces that trap and slowly dissolve.

Drops & Crafting

  • Strong, fibrous vine-cord
  • Digestive sap (acids, tanning, alchemy)
  • Sweet luring nectar
  • Seeds/pods for cultivation as living traps
