The Dreaded Black Lotus
Hold your breath... Shhh...
The black lotus is known for being remarkably intelligent. It is carnivorous and its thorns have a paralytic toxin that can almost immediately cause a loss of feeling in the area of the wound if the toxin enters the bloodstream. The lotus moves only at night where its red vines and blackthorns are less visible and scurry along the forest floor, or in between trees looking for food which it ambushes quickly and efficiently. During the day or if it has recently ensnared food it is usually found discreetly hiding in the brush around trees. This strategy is primarily used to catch prey that wanders by while it devours what it's already caught.
When even the plants are against you...How daunting. I love this flower and its effects...Very dangerous. I think you could benefit from another picture near the bottom for formatting. I'm also very curious if there's any use of the flower, such as any effect in alchemy or if people harvest it for smoking purposes on the black market. Quite the read.
Hmmmm you know.... huh... I failed to consider alchemical purposes... the answer is yes tho, all creatures can be harvested by wardens guaranteed but it depends. thanks for the inspiration and the like. I'll look around and see if there is an image I can find. This was in a different article that I broke up and havnt added to yet. thank you very much.
