Fideal

This large creature resembles a 2-hex clump of reeds. It moves very slowly, up and down rivers, never leaving the water. Nearly mindless, it entangles and drowns victims, slowly digesting the remains for days at a time. It is active at any time, and there may be many of them in a river. A Naturalist roll is necessary to tell a fideal from normal reeds, and is only allowed if the person looks closely at it.
Rumor: The fideal is rumored to be a maliciously intelligent water sprite that can cast an illusion to disguise itself as a beautiful woman. Such a fideal appears to be a lovely nude swimmer, who smiles playfully - even invitingly - at any man on the shore. Any lecherous male who resists this sight is not playing in character.
==Entangle==
No weapon may be drawn — there are dozens of thin but strong vinelike tendrils wrapped all around the body. Anyone attempting to cut the victim free is striking into close combat.
