{really should finally do something with this guy, whoops}

Completed quick ref of my new plant beast character, Aldatma. Inspired by   thornbeast.

All of the vegetation on his back has varying effects. The flowers are said to be a powerful aphrodisiac, the mushrooms have various medicinal properties, and the leafy ferns are supposed extremely tasty. The grass that covers the rest of his back is very soft and cushy.

His 'internal' tentacles, as well as both of his mouths, are coated in a numbing, dazing poison that is often sought after for use in pain relief medicine.

Both sentient and non-sentient creatures are drawn to him for these reasons, which usually makes hunting a piece of cake. When he's not busy devouring wayward healers and cocky adventurers, he's snacking on the fruit native to his tropical home.

Aldatma is slightly larger than your average modern home. He never stops growing, however, and can therefore be drawn much larger if needed.

He tends to burrow himself in the ground until only his back and lures are exposed, and then lay in wait for prey to stumble onto him.

"Aldatma" is Turkish for "deceit."

...That's about it.
