The giant sundew is able to detect moving creatures by vibrations,
and when anything moves within 5 feet of it,
it will lash out with its tendrils.
Its lump-like body is covered with hundreds of tendrils,
and up to 6 may attack each creature in {range} each round.
These tendrils end in sticky globs of sap.

SA: For every 3 tendrils that strike a victim,
that victim will suffer a -1 on its subsequent to-hit rolls.
If a 20 is rolled to hit with the sundew,
that tendril will have struck the character across the mouth and nose,
clogging these with its sap.
The character will suffocate in 2-4 rounds unless the sap is removed. <holding breath rules?>
In +addition+ to its clogging effect, the sap is composed of a mild enzyme acid that will cause 1 point of damage per tendril per round until the tendril is broken.
<technically, if the tendrils hit on segment 1 of round 1, then the acid damage would happen on segment 1 of round 2>
The chance these tendrils may be broken is the same as that for opening doors for each character, <convenience link>
and each tendril should be checked individually.
The sap will dissolve and become harmless if soaked with vinegar || alcohol (such as wine),
and this is the only non-magical way to prevent suffocation.

SD: Due to the plant's sticky exterior, missile && fire-based attacks do only <1/2> damage.

Giant sundews appear as 3-4 foot high mounds of gray-green tarry ropes || rags.
Areas where they are found are often heavily fly-infested,
and the air will often have a thick odor like sweet syrup. <ODOR: Strong>
