The thorn whip functions like a whip-dagger, including bonuses on disarm and trip, except it deals slashing and piercing damage, it has a threat range of 19-20, and that the bellarosa cannot drop the whip on a failed disarm or trip attempt. The thorn whip is treated as a natural weapon.

Her head is crowned and covered by large rose petals growing upward like a rose, replacing her hair. Large green leaves cover her body like a dress. Her left wrist is studded with sharp thorns and her right wrist has a growing thorny vine.A bellarosa is a humanoid plant that wanders in lush forests, slowly communing with nature. Many travellers mistake these plants for fey due to their appearance, but unlike fey, they are not mischievous or reserved. Bellarosas are perceived to be embodiments of beauty or reincarnations of deceased druids.Strategies and TacticsA bellarosa observes intruder and travellers alike before striking. It does not show itself unless some threats occur, such as wild beasts. While territorial, it tolerate explorers that do not deliberately harm nature, but intruders are not that lucky.A bellarosa strikes from afar as much as it can, either by shooting its darts and whipping her vine. If surrounded, it releases a spore cloud and fences opponents off with it hardened vine. If severely damaged or confronted to fire-using creatures, it releases another spore cloud and tries to flee or take cover.EcologyBellarosas are solitary creatures. While they appreciate the company of treants, oaken defenders, dryads and nymphs, they prefer to wander alone, exploring and discovering nature at their own pace.Although bellarosas look like women, they reproduce asexually by seeding. Once per year, a bellarosa release spores that contain 4d6 seeds. Each seed take two years to grow into saplings (Small, 4 HD), and another two years for saplings to reach maturity. Most bellarosas leave nature do its work for its seed, but a few return to the seeding ground and take care of them.Bellarosas have a livespan of about 100 years.EnvironmentBellarosas are native from temperate forests, away from civilization, yet a few wanders around elven or raptoran communities.Typical Physical CharacteristicsA bellarosa is about 5 feet high and weighs about 100 lbs. It has deep green leaves wrapped around its body, large red rose petals on its head in guise of hair and its left hand is studded with thorns.AlignmentBellarosas are usually neutral good.
