Beguiling Lotuses Species in The Thirteen Realms | World Anvil

Beguiling Lotuses

A demonic plant often found in castle gardens.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Beguiling Lotuses have large, white blossoms that typically have a two to three foot diameter - and thick roots that usually grow six or more feet in length. They grow as singular flowers.

Ecology and Habitats

Beguiling Lotuses grow on the surface of ponds and lakes, preferably in shaded areas.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Beguiling Lotuses use their ability to pick up on surface thoughts to project an image into the mind of their prey, drawing them close enough to pull into the water and drown for nutrients.

Behaviour

Lotuses tend to bunch into groups, wrapping their roots around each other. When prey is nearby, one lotus will separate to act as bait - the others close enough to help keep struggling prey from escaping.

Additional Information

Domesticated Beguiling Lotuses are unable to leave their bodies of water, but their wild counterparts are able to "stand" outside water for brief periods of time and ocassionally migrate to areas with more prey.
