Greenvise

Greenvise are ambulatory vegetable horrors that stalk the fringes of some humanoid settlements. These carnivorous plants are not bold - they prefer to ambush lone prey that happens to come too near. Greenvises rest at night and actively hunt during daylight hours, repositioning themselves throughout the day if prey in a particular hunting area proves scarce. A greenvise is a larger, sturdier version of the venus flytrap, with a thick, trunklike stem and four fleshy tendrils that hang down like vines. When the creature opens its mouth, a mottled pink maw lined with toothlike thorns is revealed; when closed, the mouth structure resembles an ordinary leafy bush. A greenvise has small, tendrillike roots that it uses to move.
