```col-mdflexGrow=2.5===# DescriptionOften found in clusters, these plants resemble brown leathery vases sitting on the ground with ragged leaves splayed out around the base where thick roots grasp the earth. The tops are open, and if one should peer inside the glint of their golden seeds can be seen in the interior. However, these plants are traps, and many an explorer have come across the remains of smaller humanoids, their hands still clutching the golden seed pods.# Natural RangeSwamps---# Common Use(s)## Unaltered FormIf someone is unwise enough to reach into the pod, they must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 15) or suffer 1d4 damage from the internal spines of the plant, and are then grappled. 10 points of damage must be inflicted upon the plant to free a trapped arm, the leathery surface providing a natural AC of 11. Ripping the plant out of the ground requires a successful Strength (Athletics) check (DC 20) and inflicts another 1d4 damage upon the trapped victim.## As an Ingredient- Can be processed to produce [[material/essence-of-shadow|Essence of Shadow]]- Can be used in potion making---# Distribution## Trade & MarketCan be found for sale by herbalists or in magic/alchemical supply shops.
