Traits

Corpses. When first encountered, a corpse lotus contains the corpses of 1d6 + 3 Humanoids. A corpse lotus can hold the remains of up to nine Humanoids. These remains have total cover against attacks and other effects outside the corpse lotus. If the corpse lotus dies, the corpses within it can be pulled free.

Stench of Death. Each creature that starts its turn within 10 feet of the corpse lotus or one of its zombies must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, unless the creature is a Construct or an Undead. On a failed save, the creature is poisoned until the start of its next turn. On a successful save, the creature is immune to the Stench of Death of all corpse lotuses for 24 hours. 

Actions

Multiattack. The corpse lotus makes three Grasping Root attacks.

Grasping Root. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage, and the corpse lotus grapples the target (escape DC 16), twining its root around the creature. Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained. Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage if the target is submerged or partially submerged in water.

Harvest the Dead. The corpse flower swallows one unsecured Humanoid corpse within 10 feet of it, along with any equipment the corpse is wearing or carrying. 

Bonus Actions

Digest. The corpse lotus digests one corpse in its body and instantly regains 11 (2d10) hit points. Nothing of the digested corpse remains. Any equipment on the corpse is expelled from the corpse flower in its space.

Reanimate. The corpse lotus animates one corpse in its body, turning it into a zombie. The zombie appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the corpse lotus and acts immediately after it in the initiative order. The zombie acts as an ally of the corpse lotus but isn't under its control, and the flower's stench clings to it (see Stench of Death).

Description

This aquatic variant of the corpse flower does not climb but rather uses its Grasping Root attack to grapple prey, pull them under the water to drown, and then swallow them.
