Description
A Corpse Vine implants living creatures and corpses with spores. After being implanted or when an implanted creature dies, the spores sprout into a Corpse Vine that magically animates the host corpse, turning it into an infested zombie under the young vine’s control. Corpse Vine hosts can usually be identified from the large colorful and delicate flowers that often bloom from their bodies. In addition to protecting the defenseless plant, the zombie acts as a fertilizer for the young vine. Which it slowly consumes until the host is unusable, at which point the vine must search for a new host or risk withering away. Corpse Vines tend to share their host with whatever other plants choose to root in its flesh.
On rare occasions a Corpse Vine will form symbiotic relationships with the creatures they infest, offering protection to the still-living creature in exchange for nesting within its body and using it as a source of nutrients to sustain itself.
