The Giant Pitcher-Plant is a dangerous plant that seizes and kills other lifeforms.

Description[]

The Giant Pitcher-Plant is an enormous green vase surrounds by roots. The inside of its vase is lined with long, wickedly sharp spines. When someone disturbs these roots, a long tendril will whip out of the vase, try to seize the person, and drop them into the vase to be digested.[1]

Origins and Distribution[]

The Giant Pitcher-Plant is found in jungles across Titan, especially in Allansia. [2]

Special Abilities[]

If the Giant Pitcher-Plant wins an Attack Round, it will wrap its tendril around its victim. Should it win a second Attack Round, it will drop the victim into its vase, where the victim will lose 1 point of stamina every minute, as they are digested by the plant's acids.[1] If the victim tries to climb out, the spines on the inside of the Pitcher-Plant's vase will do them 15 points of stamina damage.[1]

Should the tendril be destroyed, it is easily to also destroy the vase. People trapped inside the vase can then be safely pulled out.[1]

Further Notes[]

The vase of the Giant Pitcher-Plant contains a liquid that is a mixture of putrid rainwater and digestive acids. This liquid is of interest to herbalists and alchemists .[2] If the Giant Pitcher-Plant is defeated, the liquid can be retrieved from the vase and used to create a Vial of Weak Acid.[2] This acid will eat through flesh, cloth and wood but not glass, stone or metal. This acid can be used to dissolve an item, or thrown at an enemy in combat. [2] If a Vial of Weak Acid is successfully thrown at at a target (requiring a successful Test for Skill) then the opponent will lose 1 stamina point. [2] The target will then suffer an additional loss of a stamina point per Attack Round, unless they spend the whole round wiping the acid off their body. [2]
