[QUOTE="JustKim, post: 3230442, member: 5478"] I'm certain this is the real reason. Personally, I think the tendriculous is a dumb monster. It is way too difficult for its CR and not really interesting. It makes for a very lame encounter. Its regeneration, however, is probably based on observations of real earth plants. I don't know if anyone here lives in the southern US, but there we have a plant called kudzu famous for being "the plant that ate the South". Kudzu grows so amazingly quickly that you can actually see it happening. It grows more than a foot a day. If you cut a kudzu plant in two, you will have two kudzu plants. If you burn it, it will grow back while you sleep. If you freeze it, it will go dormant until it warms again. The only ways to reliably kill the plant are to dig up its massive root system and pulp it (bludgeoning damage) or find an animal that can stomach the tough, fibrous plant (acid damage). [/QUOTE]
