Poisonweed

''A diffuse collection of meandering roots that at first do not appear to be connected, this plant boasts a large number of bright orange petals with pale green leaves. These flowers sit at what look like nodular junctions in the roots, spreading over a wide area.''

Combat
Relying upon stealth, the poisonweed plant waits for its victims to wander into its patch and then launches a cloud of spores from one of its flowers.

Description
The poisonweed is a creeping plant that spreads itself across a broad area and releases poisonous spores if any creature stumbles into it. The plant attempts to digest those rendered unconscious by the spores by wrapping them in roots that secrete an acidic enzyme.

The plant is unintelligent and only attacks those who physically come into contact with it. However, it relies upon its decentralized structure and unassuming appearance to insinuate itself into undergrowth where it might easily go unnoticed. Most victims do not realize they have stumbled into a poisonweed patch until it is too late.

The average poisonweed plant is twenty feet across and spreads itself thinly along the ground, interweaving throughout other growths until it is all but invisible, only its orange flowers showing.
