**SPECIAL ABILITIES**

**Engulf (Ex)**
If a Deathblossom begins its turn with an opponent at least two size categories smaller than itself grappled in one of its mouths, it can close its jaws completely around the foe by making a new combat maneuver check (as though attempting to pin the foe). If it succeeds, it engulfs the prey and inflicts 1d8+7 points of damage and 2d6 acid damage as the cavity floods with digestive enzymes. The seal formed is airtight, so an engulfed creature risks suffocation. Engulf is a special form of pinning, and an engulfed creature can escape in the same way as he can from being pinned, but since an engulfed creature is contained wholly inside the plant's jaws, the Deathblossom's victim cannot be targeted by effects or attacks that require line of sight or line of effect. A Deathblossom that is grappling or pinning a foe cannot attack other targets with that bite, but is not otherwise hindered.

**Ripe Rip (Ex)**
As a full attack action, the Deathblossom can burrow it's head underground at high speeds and attack an enemy. The enemy can be no gigher than 10 feet off of the ground or the Deathblossom cannot hit. This attack is a normal attack roll, however your range is considered to be 100 feet.

**Seed Blast (Ex)**
10 times a day, a Deathblossom can spew out it's seeds in a forceful manner as projectile weapons. They reproduce in this same way, however they've also learned that doing this can wound and hold their foe in place. The Death blossom can make a single touch attack against an enemy within 100 feet. If the enemy is hit by this attack, they take 1d8+7 damage and must make a DC:24 reflex saving throw or gain the entangled condition. Entangled creatures can attempt to break free as a move action, making a Strength or Escape Artist check. The DC for this check is equal to the DC of the spell.

**Evilities:**
Photosynthesis, Regain 7 hit points at the end of every round.
Anger of Earth, 4 times per day, when you land a successful attack, you heal 7 hit points.

**Martial techniques**
The DeathBlossom can perform [wiki:disgaead20:"Green Needle"] 4 times a day, [wiki:disgaead20:"Feast Slasher"] 2 times a day, and [wiki:disgaead20:"Angry Tree"] Once per day with a DC of 23.

**ECOLOGY**

**Environment** temperate swamps

**Organization** solitary, pair, or grove (3–6)

**Treasure** incidental

Deathblossoms love the taste of flesh and can attack from any distance. They are totally blind, instead hunting their victims through sound and their groping roots. Deathblossoms are the result of a failed attempt to bond magic and plant.
