Sleeping Grass was not an actively carnivorous plant, but it could nevertheless greatly affect anyone encountering it.[1][2][3]
Description[]
It was a fiery-red colour (a large patch of it gave Firetop Mountain its name), and produced many small flowers among its blades. The flowers emitted a very sweet smell when disturbed, and would fill the air with a cloud of pollen. Anyone who disturbed the grass would suddenly feel very relaxed and tired, and would stop to sit among the flowers and rest. They would feel their eyelids growing heavy, and then fall into a deep sleep full of vivid dreams for several hours.[1]
Predators sometimes waited near patches of sleeping grass, knowing that there was a chance of some easy prey. Unless they were very quick in dragging their victim off the patch, though, they will fall asleep themselves. It could be truly alarming to wake up surrounded by a pack of lions, orcs and snattacats, all fast asleep![4]
Pouches of sleeping grass pollen could be purchased for 3 Gold Pieces per pouch. These pouches could be thrown at an opponent, with a successful throw to release the sleep-inducing pollen that would knock an opponent out and allow the user to finish them off. Sleeping grass pollen would not affect undead, demons, or evil spirits.[5]
Origins and Distribution[]
Evidence would suggest that Sleeping Grass had an Irritarian distribution across all three major continents of Titan.
