False Appearance. While the bloodthorn remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal tangle of weeds and briars.
Drain. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage, and if the target is a creature, it is grappled (escape DC 14). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, it takes 21 (6d6) necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns, and the bloodthorn regains hit points equal to half of the necrotic damage dealt. The bloodthorn can drain only one target at a time.
Description
The bloodthorn is an extraplanar plant often found on Carceri, the Abyss, Pandemonium and the Outlands, but most commonly on the Field of Nettles in Hades. The thick roots and tendrils hide hollow spikes that wrap around victims and drain their blood. Bloodthorns produce bright red, fragrant, succulent-looking berries that are bitter and provide no sustenance to creatures other than Fiends.
Bloodthorns are rumoured to grow where blood, ichor and the like have been copiously spilled, and as such are commonly found growing on battlefields of the Blood War.
