Bloodrose
Bloodrose
Thorn Walker, U Large Plant
Simple Monster, XP 4000
Level 10 (+5)
"It was so beautiful, I had thought no creature so magnificent, so vibrant, could possibly exist to do harm to others. I was disappointed when I learned that this was in fact its entire purpose in life."
——Lianmos Whitefeather, Elven Scout
This large plant creature resembles a humanoid, except its body appears to be a tangle of branches, brambles, thorns, and leaves, with beautiful dark red roses blooming off of every ‘branch’ of its body. Its long limbs can quickly change shape from gangly, thorned fingers into that of a long lash of thorns, cutting through most creatures with terrifying precision. The Bloodrose sustains itself on the blood of living creatures by absorbing any nearby blood that soaks into the earth. Roots spring from underneath its feet-like stalks and shoot into the ground to absorb the blood. Once this is done, the Thorn Walker sprouts toxic roses that it can use to heal itself or poison enemies.
