Spread Corruption. Once every hour, a Bud of Ruin will release spores into the air. It may release these spores early if attacked. These spores will slowly taint nearby vegetation, and possibly even creatures, should enough be present. If a creature is in direct contact with a large amount of spores, make a CON saving throw (DC 13). Should the creature fail it's saving throw, it takes 2d8 poison damage. Should the creature's HP be reduced to 0, the creature reanimates as an infected, regaining half it's HP, and works to protect the Bud of Ruin until it is killed again.
Burrow. The creature spends it's action to slowly burrow under the ground, where only a small portion of it's top will remain. When burrowed, it's AC raises to 17.
Thorny Whip. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 15 ft., 1 target. Hit: 10 (2d10 + 1) piercing damage.
Poison Spew. Ranged Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, range 30/60 ft., 1 target. Hit: 9 (2d8 + 3) poison damage.
If the Bud of Ruin is burrowed, it may take a bonus action to burrow back out of the ground, striking all creatures in a 10 ft radius. All creatures in the area of effect must make a DEX saving throw. On a success, the creature takes no damage. On a failed save, the creature takes 10 (2d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage.
