Favourite intelligent plant

[Wraith Form]

shambler ... aka shambling mound

(I can't believe I'm saying this, but...) I'm with him ^ on that one.

Feed me, Seymour!

Did the old version, with Jack Nicholson as the masochistic dental patient, show the plant talking, too? I can't remember. I liked the one with Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, and Bill Murray in it better anyway, because of them and because of the songs.

"Favourite intelligent plant"

I was gonna say George Dubbleyuh, but there's that pesky 'intelligent' qualifier in there.

It's all about the Cactaur, baby!

I voted Other plant, because it has to be the Vegapygmy.

Yeah we need offical 3.5 stats for that one!

I voted for myconoid.

Myconids.

Just due to how they were depicted in Drizzit books - say what you say about the dark elf, but Salvatore did have a fresh take on some D&D races. His depiction of the myconids living in the underdark was very interesting, making them seem suitably alien while still giving pointers for roleplaying them.

I recently used some Thorns (from MM2, I believe) that I thought worked out pretty well. They all had different plant traits, and resembled a specific kind of plant - one of them was made of rose vines (Rosewhip), another was mostly poison ivy, and another was made of nettles. It worked well for when I needed some warrior-fey, and the PCs did underestimate them quite a bit. They were allies for a while, until one of the PCs killed the one they had been traveling with, since he had a hatred of fey.

That ended up getting him killed.

Mushroom lady

Zugettemoy (fiend, but LOOKS like a mushroom lady)

MM2 has a plant that looks like Audrey II: maybe make it fiendish/paragon? High intelligence+ language = Audrey.

Fungi are not plants!

I don't mean to be pedantic, but myconids and shriekers are technically fungi, not plants. My vote goes to the Vegepygmy.
