Roper

Ropers are ambush hunters, taking the appearance of stalagmites, they wait for a living creature to draw close quickly lasheing out with tendrils extruded from its body that wrap around its target, sapping the creature’s strength. The roper then draws its prey into its fang-filled mouth to consume. As a rope never knows when its next meal is coming, they often slay and eat more than they can possibly consume at once.
