Although relatively weak, their strength lies in their great numbers. Vinlings stand about 2 feet tall on coiled, springy legs and their long tendril arms are studded with small thorns. The flower on a vinling is yellow in color; as it advances in hit dice, the flower deepens to a rich orange. Vinlings are almost animalian in intelligence, but they are still capable of receiving and following orders from either vinshalk commanders or vinseer coordinators. In non-combat situations, vinlings are usually found transporting held prisoners, gathering small animals to seed more vinlings and creating traps to fortify their nest.CombatVinlings rarely make use of any tactics more advanced then “overwhelm”. They always fight until death, even if sorely mismatched.Bunching (Ex): Vinlings are adept at crowding each other in order to strike a target. Up to three vinlings can fit in the same 5ft square.Plant Traits: Immune to mind-influencing effects, poisons, sleep, paralysis, stunning and polymorphing. Not subject to critical hits.Spores (Ex): Three times per day, a vinling can release a 10ft radius cloud of thick, choking spores. All creatures inhaling the spores must make a Fortitude save (DC 12) or be nauseated for 1d4 rounds. The DC increases by +1 for every other vinling that contributes spores, and the cloud remains for three rounds before dissipating, unless dispersed by a strong windVin Traits: When a vinling reaches twice its hit points as temporary hit points, it buds another vinling.</blockquote>
