Arctic Bloom

Saving Throw DC 19 fortitude

Maximum Duration 6 rounds

Stage 1 Fascinated by the arctic bloom (1 round)

Stage 2 Controlled by the arctic bloom (1 round)

The arctic bloom draws nutrients from a living creature it has swallowed, regaining (3d8+24)[healing] HP. The swallowed creature takes (2d12+8)[bludgeoning] damage.

The plants send out runner shoots that quickly develop purple bulbs. These bulbs, the plant's polyps, sprout many long, hooked vines before detaching from the mother plant. Dusk poppies are short lived but active, foraging for a week or so before they shrivel and die. The poppies aren't dangerous unless handled, as they secrete a fine dust that seizes the nervous system of creatures who come in contact with them.

5 miles. Arctic blooms communicate with others of their kind via airborne pheromones. They can use this form of communication to determine their relative distance to each other, call for help if they are under attack or need sustenance, announce that they've detected prey, and convey similar basic concepts. Pheromones coat everything within the aura and allow dusk poppies to perceive with their pheromones.
