Fangvine
A Fangvine possesses thick, sinewy roots resembling gnarled tendrils that slither through the soil, seeking out vibrations and scent trails of potential prey. When a living creature unknowingly steps upon the Fangvine's subterranean lair, its tendrils lash out with incredible speed, ensnaring the unfortunate victim with crushing force. Rows of razor-sharp teeth, like thorns of darkened obsidian, emerge from the earth, piercing and tearing into its prey, injecting a paralyzing venom that leaves them immobilized. The Fangvine then slowly drags its captive underground, where it remains hidden from the world above, providing a sinister feeding ground for the creature's insatiable hunger.
