Plant creatures These plant creatures didn't really seem to me to fit into any of the above categories, but there are some really cool critters in here.  The theme?  They are all plants!  Who needs more than that (see article in Dragon #292)?  Some of this variety is malevolent, some benevolent.Hellseed (CR 12)This terror from the outer planes looks like a tree with humanoid shape, covered in pustules containing its spores.  It casts spells as a druid, and exudes an aura that causes plants to twist and grow to become deadly, and transforms creatures of nature into evil parodies of themselves.New creature.Fungoid (CR 7)This ogre-sized fungus creature has soft puffy white skin, and attacks with 2 slams to knock down foes.  It is believed that the fungoid exists to avenge murders.(OD&D/Mystara)Vegepygmy/Thorny/Russet MoldThese "mold men" are semi-intelligent tribal, humanoid creatures.  The thorny serves as a pet to the vegepygmy, as a dog made of wood and leaves, and its thorns imbed themselves into opponents. New vegepygmies are created by russet mold, which releases a deadly spore cloud, transforming creatures that die from exposure.Originally found in Expedition to the Barrier Peaks/Monster Manual II.Dusanu (CR 5)This creature looks like an undead at first glance, but is actually a strange mold that animates and controls a skeleton.  The rot fiend's fungus is released in a spore cloud, and changes a victim into a new dusanu.Originally found in D&D Setting/Mystara.Algoid (CR 4)This humanoid-shaped colony of green algae has a mind blast like that of the mind flayer, and can animate trees like a treant.Originally found in Fiend Folio.Bohun TreeThe fruit of this massive, evil tree can put creatures to sleep or cause them to suffocate, and is poisonous if eaten.  The tree itself can fire thorns like arrows, and its roots can hold creatures still to better hit them with the thorn-arrows. Originally found in Dragon #89.Alternates:Campestri: tiny mushroom people like to sing and dance to music and can recreate any sound they have ever heard.  Their spores slow victims.  (Dungeon #41, MC Annual #1)Faerie Phiz: fey-like face appearing on enchanted wood, spit extinguishes flame and irritates skin, casts spells as both wizard and druid, has sagelike knowledge (Dragon #191)Aartuk: marauding alien star-shaped plant-men, can wrap their tongue around an opponent to draw them in for a bite attack, as well as spread their deadly disease. (Spelljammer MC)Quickwood: "spy tree" is a sentient neutral creature can seize creatures with its roots, can possess oak trees, and bite with its mouth orifice, and spells cast at it are reflected back as fear effects. (Monster Manual II)Zombie Plant: shrub can psionically attract victims to eat its berries, which cause Int drain and make them slaves of the plant. semi-intelligent, immobile, does not eat prey. (Dark Sun MC 1)Clubthorn: relative of holly tree has roots that entangle, and clubs with wooden limbs (Dragon #167)Helborn: evil plant has empathy and spell-like abilities, constricts, traps creatures in its mouth (Dragon #167)Oblivax: memory moss is a black moss that steals memories from intelligent creatures, as well as prepared spells from spellcasters. eating the moss gives these stolen properties to a creature. (Monster Manual II)Gakarak: ancient treant-kin with a hatred for humanoids (who abuse the trees of its forest); can control plants within 1000 feet and animate trees and bushes, can teleport from one plant to another, and a wide array of other abilities. (D&D/Mystara)Rekeihs: mobile bulbous carnivorous plant, suction cup tentacle attack rips skin off, has resistance to cold (Dragon #94)</blockquote>
