Traits

False Appearance. While the Carnivorous Flytrap remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary plant.

Rooted. The Carnivorous Flytrap is rooted to the ground. Its base walking speed cannot increase above 0 feet. It has advantage on all saving throws and ability checks to remain in its position. If the Carnivorous Flytrap is forced from its position but not reduced to 0 hit points, it dies at the end of its next turn.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (3d8 + 3) piercing damage plus 11 (2d6 + 3) acid damage, and if the target is a medium or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 15). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the Carnivorous Flytrap cannot bite another target. For every turn the target is restrained in this manner, they take 8 (1d8 + 3) Acid damage.

Reactions

Lunge. When a creature moves within reach of the Carnivorous Flytrap bite attack, the Carnivorous Flytrap makes a bite attack against that creature.

Description

An animated flower-like plant with simple intelligence, the Carnivorous Flytrap is common in forested areas far from civilization. Because it is a mostly mundane plant, the Carnivorous Flytrap is rooted to the ground, and cannot willingly separate from where it grows. It normally exists as what appears to be a mere weed, but when it detects potential prey with its tremorsense, it lunges out like a snake, snapping its jaw-like petals to capture food. The Carnivorous Flytrap normally feasts on medium-sized animals such as deer, but has been known to attempt larger prey when food has been scarce.
