Volatile Vivarium

Volatile Vivarium

Wondrous Item

Uncommon

This small glass bottle contains a miniature exotic ecosystem filled with various plants and animals. There is a magical barrier inside the vivarium that disallows interactions with the specimens, even when the bottle's stopper has been removed. If a creature is holding the bottle with both hands, they can use their action to focus on the vivarium, releasing one of the following specimens of their choice and producing its associated outcome for as long as they hold the vivarium. 

Specimen	Effect
Man-Eater Plant (1/Day)	A giant, toothed carnivorous plant emerges from the vivarium, immediately trying to swallow the nearest live or dead beast, monstrosity, or humanoid creature (aside from the vivarium's wielder) in a 30-foot cone that is of medium creature size or smaller. The targeted creature must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d10 piercing damage and being swallowed bt the plant on a failure.  While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained, and has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the plant, and it takes 3d6 acid damage at the start of each of its turns. If the plant (AC 12) takes at least 30 damage, it will immediately regurgitate the swallowed creature, who falls prone in a space within 5 feet of the plant. If the plant takes more than 60 damage, it returns to the vivarium.
