bogsnap

A large carnivorous plant that hides its toothy maw behind a veil of beautiful pink petals—almost identical to the giant mucktongue flower. Their mouths grow so wide and malleable that they can devour a rider and its horse in one gulp. Even if the lightning fast snap of its trapjaws misses its target, the plant monster has prickly vines that flail, grab, and constrict.

Names: Tendrilla, Venomvine, Toothbloom, Snatchpetal

vulnerabilities

Bogsnaps intake their water slowly through their prey and dislike oversaturation in their soil. They retract and shut their mouths if met with large quantities of liquid.

combat

Bogsnaps ambush unsuspecting travelers without warning. Although they have naturally evolved to look like the giant mucktongue flower, they also grow and hide behind trees, bushes and underbrush. Their prickly vines, while effective, flail without precision. If starving, bogsnaps can even unroot themselves and shamble to catch prey.
