The Feaster is a carnivorous plant resembling a canine, evolved to serve as a scavenger and protector of the forest. Instead of hunting live prey, it consumes dead creatures, helping to clean the forest floor of decay and disease. This unique role not only nourishes its body with rotting flesh but also fuels its abilities. The Feaster uses its vibrant, color-shifting floral mane to frighten humanoids, driving them away from the forest and ensuring the ecosystem remains undisturbed. This act of instilling fear enhances the potency of the acid in its tail, making it an effective deterrent against threats to the forest’s delicate balance. Its armored legs allow it to break through debris, while its split jaw can efficiently process decayed matter. Rarely seen, the Feaster’s presence ensures both the forest’s health and its own survival.
