Ok #ttrpg and #dnd friends, I come bearing a monster.
The Blossoming Mound is believed by some to be a later stage in the lifecycle of the shambling mound. Rarer and more mobile, blossoming mounds wander through the wilderness, sprouting flowers, blossoms, and fruit of every kind as they go. Although not actively aggressive, it will entangle and consume any creatures that get caught in its path, riddling them with woody tendrils and blooming colour.

@ash Interesting critter! Could work really nicely in tropical/swamp/forest settings. I imagine it being a problem if it catches you by surprise, but it's also revered as a force of nature by some cultures and druids.
It's also got me looking nervously over my shoulder at my Nepenthes / carnivorous pitcher plant. 😜
