Blood Bramble. Whenever Calria hits a creature with one of his attacks, except for the Gold Root's Light, or whenever a creature hits Calria with a melee attack they become entangled in blood bramble. The bramble reduces the effected creature's walking speed by 10 for each time they become entangled in it, which can happen multiple times. Additionally, this bramble can cause damage in multiple ways. Each time a creature entangled in blood bramble moves more then 10 ft., uses their action and bonus action, or makes more then one attack on their turn they will take 1d10 piercing damage (taking 1d10 piercing damage for every 10 ft. moved after the first 10 and taking 1d10 for every attack after the first). Lastly, a creature entangled in blood bramble will take 1d10 piercing damage for each time they've been entangled at the start of their turn.
The entangled creature can use their action to attempt to break free of the bramble by succeeding a DC 24 Strength saving throw. If a creature entangled by blood bramble takes fire damage then the blood bramble will burn away.

The Gold Root's Blessing. Calria keeps the sapling of The Gold Root tree in a cavity in his chest. Being so close to the sapling it grants Calria a bit of power, some that he can call upon and some that he is granted passively. While the sapling is with Calria he is resistant to radiant damage and immune to necrotic damage. Additionally, whenever Calria takes radiant damage the other half of the damage he would've taken is expelled from his body violently causing all creatures within 15 ft. of him to take that remaining damage he would've taken. (Example: An attack deals 50 radiant damage, Calria takes 25, and all creatures within 15 ft. of Calria take the other 25).

Additionally an creature within 15 ft. of a creature whose blood bramble exploded must make a DC 24 Dexterity saving throw or take the same amount of damage.

Description
Calria is a member of what was once called "The Old Hunt", which was around the time of the Monster Hunter Guild's founding. Calria was the one that discovered a vast majority of the ways certain plants can effect monsters like burning sage being able to calm spirits and lesser demons and devils and how the wolf's bane plant causes lycanthropes to become lethargic. Needless to say he knew a lot about plants which shouldn't come as a surprise given that he was a lumberkin, which is a type of tree based person. He had even given life to a form of plant life of his own. A sort of brutal plant known as Blood Bramble, which was a like a form of actual bramble that not only was more deadly, but also predatory. As the smell of blood bramble would entice animals near it, where the would become stuck and die either to starvation or the bramble itself, and the roots of the bramble would then feed on the dead creature. Calria would mostly use this form of plant life as defensive measures and is able to force any form of the bramble to disintegrate at will. In the event of his death, all blood bramble will disintegrate.
However, Calria would eventually retire from the hunt to instead search for a specific plant called "The Golden Root". The Golden Root, as Calria has explained, is a relic of the times before the calamity occurred, when plant life flourished at its peak. More specifically The Golden Root was said to be created by Okara, the goddess of Flora, and it would be the seed of one of these Golden Roots that would cause the rebirth of the flourishing plant life from the past.
Calria would be successful in his search and now tends to the seed, his close proximity and bonding with the seed causing his body to change. Such as becoming much larger and stronger. As well as being able to channel the power of the seed to gain a lessor form of it's legendary aspects.
Lair and Lair Actions
Superior Actions. Superior actions are a type of action that either replaces or adds onto Lair Actions and function similarly to lair actions. Superior actions occur twice per round, once at Initiative count 20 and at count 0 (both losing initiative ties). When a creature takes a superior action it cannot use the same action as the previous round (meaning it has to use a different one). Additionally, a superior action on initiative 20 cannot be used at initiative 0 or vise versa.
Superior Actions at initiative count 20.
- Bramble Patch. Calria makes a 30 ft. radius area of blood bramble within 50 ft. of him. This area is considered difficult terrain and deals 1d8 piercing damage for every 10 ft. moved within it as well as covering a creature walking through it in blood bramble.
- Bramble Wall. The lair forms a 60 ft. high, 5 ft. thick, and 30 ft. long wall of bramble. A creature can attempt to force its way past it with a DC 23 Strength saving throw, failure will cause the creature to be covered in blood bramble and it does not move past the wall. This wall has an AC of 16 and 80 hit points as well as vulnerability to fire damage.
- Blessing of the Gold Root. The power of the Gold Root Sapling causes Calria to temporarily gain the benefits of the Bless spell until initiative count 20. This spell does not require concentration nor does it require components.
Superior Actions at initiative count 0. - Bramble Cage. Calria forces a creature he can see within 60 ft. of him to make a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure the creature is surrounded by a thick cage of blood bramble. A creature encased in this bramble cage has the benefits of full cover but is also considered blinded and restrained. A creature trapped in this cage can attempt to break out of this cage by succeeding a DC 23 Strength saving throw to push through, failure will cause that creature to be entangled in blood bramble. This cage has an AC of 18, 100 hit points, and has vulnerability to fire damage.
- Bramble Launch. Calria uses his Bramble Spear against one creature within range. Additionally, a creature struck by this attack becomes retrained (Escape DC 23).
- Sapling's Light. Calria uses the Gold Root's Light against one creature within range. Additionally, a creature stuck by this attack must succeed a DC 23 Constitution saving throw or become blinded until the end of their next turn.
