Action
Bite
Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (3d8 + 5) piercing damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or be wrapped in constricting digestive plant pod and deposited in an adjacent space. A creature trapped in this pod prison is blinded and restrained, has total cover against attacks and other effects from outside the pod, and suffers 7 (2d6) bludgeoning and 7 (2d6) acid damage at the start of each of the moonflowerï¿1/2s turns. The pod is AC 12 with 20 hit points and resistance to bludgeoning damage from nonmagical weapon attacks. The occupant suffers half of any damage done to the pod. If the pod sustains enough damage, it falls apart and disgorges its occupant prone in that space.
Action
Light Pulse
The moonflower releases a pulse of blinding light. A creature within 60 feet of the moonflower must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 4 rounds. A blinded creature can attempt this save again at the end of each of its turns, ending the blindness on itself with a success. This ability does not affect other moonflowers.
Action
Multiattack
The moonflower makes one bite attack and two tentacle attacks.
Action
Tentacle
Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (3d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage.
Special
Pod Spawn
When a Small or larger creature is killed and digested by a pod prison (see the bite attack, below), the pod transforms the remains into an adult moonflower with full hit points after 1d4 hours. The newly-formed moonflower has its own consciousness, but some aspect of its trunk or blossoms resembles the creature that died within. The dead creatureï¿1/2s equipment remains inside the new moonflower and can be retrieved by killing it.

Special
|Fast Healing
You regain hit points at 5 per round. Fast healing does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation, nor does it allow a creature to regrow lost body parts. Unless otherwise stated, it does not allow lost body parts to be reattached.
Special
|Fast Healing
Fast healing continues to function (even at negative hit points) until a creature dies, at which point the effects of fast healing end immediately.
Special
|Fast Healing
Light Pulse A moonflower can release a pulse of bright light. All creatures within a 50-foot burst that can see the moonflower must make a Paralysis save or be blinded for 1d4 rounds. Moonflowers are immune to this ability.
Special
|Fast Healing
Pod Prison This works like the swallow whole ability, except the moonflower can only use it once every 1d4 rounds, and the swallowed creature is immediately wrapped in a tight digestive cocoon and expelled into an adjacent square, where it takes damage every round (2d6 bludgeoning and 2d6 acid, AC as this creature, 25 hp). The cocooned target cannot use ability checks to get out of the cocoon. Other creatures can aid the target by attacking the cocoon with piercing or slashing weapons, but the creature within takes half the damage from any attack against the cocoon. Once the cocoon is destroyed, it deflates and decays. Each creature swallowed by a moonflower is encased in its own cocoon.
Special
|Fast Healing
Pod Spawn Should a moonflower's pod prison kill and digest a Small or larger creature, the pod transforms him into an adult moonflower with full hit points after 1d4 hours. The newly formed moonflower has its own consciousness, but some aspect of its trunk or blossoms resembles the creature that died within. The dead creature's equipment remains inside the new moonflower and can be retrieved by killing it.
Special
|Fast Healing
Telepathy You can mentally communicate with any other creature within 1 mile that has a language. It is possible to address multiple creatures at once telepathically, although maintaining a telepathic conversation with more than one creature at a time is just as difficult as simultaneously speaking and listening to multiple people at the same time.

These extraterrestrial plants resemble twisted tree trunks clustered with bulbous blossoms holds up a gaping mouth ready to swallow a victim whole. A fully-grown moonflower easily stands 20 feet tall, its massive trunk frequently 4 feet or more in diameter. The roots extend away from the base and into the soil, making the plant seem well anchored, but the roots themselves possess an agility that belies the great size of the plant and allows the moonflower to uproot itself and move with surprising speed. The tendrils of the plant are independently prehensile and writhe around the large flytraplike ï¿1/2headï¿1/2 that crowns the stem.
Latent Telepathy. Moonflowers have never been known to communicate with other creatures, even with druids and others who regularly converse with plants. The plants do possess some manner of strange telepathy, though, and are in constant communication with their nearby brethren. Those who manage to intrude upon the creaturesï¿1/2 alien thoughts face an assault of horrible visions of terrifying jungles filled with ancient, sentient, and malign plants.
