C arnivorous trees are malevolent plant

creatures found in ancient forests where
they can naturally blend with normal trees. They draw
little sustenance from the sun or water; rather they prefer
a diet of flesh from animals and the occasional human.
The average carnivorous tree stands 20 feet tall and
weighs 3,500 pounds. It has few leaves
on its branches; instead appearing to
be a dead or dying tree with bare
branches covered in the dried blood
of its previous meals. When the tree
captures a living creature, a fissure
opens within its trunk, revealing and
gapping, fang-filled maw.

COMPLICATIONS
Infamy: Jack-o’-Lanterns are wicked plant
creatures that seek to consume living flesh.

J ack-o’-Lanterns are mobile

pumpkin-shaped
monsters that make their lairs
plant

in pumpkin patches. They use

these natural patches to hide
their presence; disguised as normal
pumpkins until living prey draws
near. These plants ambush their
targets and strangle them to death;
using the bodies of living creatures
to fertilize their fields and create
more jack-o’-lanterns.
Jack-o’-lanterns possess a
magical candle within their
heads. By using this candle,
they are able to project a fiery
breath weapon. Additionally,
when a jack-o’-lantern is slain,
this candle explodes, causing
damage to anything nearby.
