False Appearance. While the crown of thorns remains motionless in the trees or bushes, it is indistinguishable from normal vines.
Spider Climb. The crown of thorns can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d10 + 1) piercing damage, and the crown of thorns attaches to the target. While attached, the crown of thorns can’t attack, and at the start of each of the crown of thorns' turns, the target takes 6 (1d10 + 1) poison damage.
The attached crown of thorns moves with the target whenever the target moves, requiring none of the crown of thorns' movement. The crown of thorns can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement on its turn. A creature, including the target, can use its action to detach the crown of thorns.
Description
Clinging to the branches of trees and large bushes, a crown of thorns blends in perfectly with natural plants, dropping in silence to attach to unsuspecting foes on the ground below.
Patient Hunters. Crown of Thorns can see, but they can also respond to noise and heat, waiting for living creatures to pass beneath them, then falling to attack. A crown of thorns that misses its chance to kill must make its slow way back into a tree or bush. A fallen crown of thorns excretes a foul-smelling slime when attacked, making most predators think twice about eating it.
Crown of Thorns gather in colonies to maximize the effectiveness of their attacks, dropping simultaneously to increase the odds of striking prey. After a crown of thorns successfully slays a creature, the others slowly creep toward the corpse to join in the feast.
