The horrid plant makes two Tendril attacks.
Bonus Action
Sap Squirt (Purple Blossom Only)
The horrid plant targets one creature it can see within 15 feet of itself. The target must succeed on a 14 Dexterity saving throw or take 28 (8d6) acid damage and become covered in acidic sap.

Trait
Horrid Plant Varieties
A horrid plant comes in one of three varieties (choose or roll a d6): 1-2, dew drinker; 3-4, purple blossom; or 5-6, snapper saw. This form determines certain traits in this stat block.
Trait
False Appearance
If the horrid plant is motionless at the start of combat, it has advantage on its initiative roll. Moreover, if a creature hasn't observed the horrid plant move or act, that creature must succeed on a 18 Intelligence (Nature) check to discern that the horrid plant isn't an ordinary plant.

Horrid plants are a family of carnivorous vegetation found in bogs, damp heaths, jungles, and swamps. Some botanists theorize these plants are an invasive species from a faraway world. When still, horrid plants resemble ordinary (if vibrant) foliage.
Horrid Plant Varieties
The most infamous varieties of horrid plant are dew drinkers, purple blossoms, and snapper saws.
Dew Drinker
Dew drinkers resemble large cabbage plants until they unfurl their long, hair-tipped tendrils. Dew drinkers use these tendrils to drain the moisture and life force from their prey.
Purple Blossom
The purple blossom is a treelike plant with cup-shaped purple flowers. Tubules within the plant's branches connect the flowers to reserves of acidic sap in the plant's trunk. Purple blossoms squirt this sap at prey through the flowers' pistils.
Snapper Saw
Snapper saws resemble ordinary bushes and bear fragrant white berries during temperate seasons. Between encounters, the plant buries its weapons—wide, razor-sharp outer leaves—in the loose dirt around itself to catch unsuspecting prey off guard.
