Hive Mind. The Blighted Cactus shares a hive mentality with other Blighted creatures, allowing them to coordinate attacks. If one Blighted creature is aware of a hostile creature, all others in the hive mind are also aware.
Blighted Scourge. Natural weapon attacks by the Blighted Cactus can infect creatures with the Blighted Scourge. A creature hit by the Blighted Cactus’s attack must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or contract the Blighted Scourge.
Thorn Burst. When the Blighted Cactus takes damage, it releases a burst of blighted thorns. Each creature within 5 feet must succeed on a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw or take 5 (1d8 + 1) piercing damage.
Spine Launch. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 15 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d10 + 1) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or be infected with the Blighted Scourge.
Spore Cloud (Recharge 5-6). The Blighted Cactus releases a cloud of blighted spores in a 10-foot radius. Each creature in the area must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or take 4 (1d8) necrotic damage and be infected with the Blighted Scourge. The cloud dissipates at the end of the Blighted Cactus's next turn.
Description
Once a simple desert plant, this cactus has become a vessel of corruption, its spines infused with blighted energy that infects everything nearby. Its twisted, pulsing form emits dark spores, spreading the Blighted Scourge to all who wander too close.
