Vines at the canopy, climb, cling and weave. Many of these tall palms are older than 200 years.JUNGLE FOOD: Yams, wild ginger, raspberry, blue quandong, bananas (only grow on the edge of the jungle and on river banks), purple plums, figs and apricot figs.NUTS: Blackbean pod length 10-25 centimetres (poisonous) as well as nutmeg, which has seed inside.PLANTS: A myriad of many plants, far too comprehensive to describe. Nevertheless, there are Orchids , which grow on the jungle floor and the edges of the forest. There is also plentiful foul smelling fungi. There are also epiphytes (very important), which are alternatively known as "air plants," which grow on the side of trees. They can weigh collectively as much as one-third of the whole tree! Their water source is the moist forest air. Stinging Trees  exist in jungles, which release a poison, the fruit like mulberry from the tree is toxic. However, the conjevoi plant helms ease the pain.JUNGLE CLIMATE: First thing is, there are generally two seasons in a jungle. Wet and Dry, each lasting about half the year. During the wet season, it rains daily, usually mid-afternoon, for at least one hour.The temperature of jungles is not that high, about 75 to 86 degrees F. However, the humidity is high and constantly between 77% to 88% relative humidity. I agree dinosaurs and "lost civilizations" are appropriate. You may assign DCs for poisonous jungle things, like plants. When describing the jungle (which is essentially the same as a rainforest), emphasize the humidity, which would be the predominate feature for PCs, moreso than the actual heat from the temperature. Another big thing is WATER. The DMG recommends PCs in warm climates consume two or three amounts of what is required in temperate climates. Enforce thirst/fatigue rules if PCs run out of water and cannot make any. A jungle in itself can provide a good deal of danger to PCs, simply from its physical environment.Edit: I also recommend jaguars, panthers, leapords, (prowling through the night, etc) as well as monkeys! The dinosaurs presented in the MM are limited, to only four or so, but you can also create your own, (even based off real-word prehistoric dinosaurs).</blockquote>
