Tanglefiend Fun Facts
Tanglefiend, a creature from Dungeons & Dragons lore, is known for its ability to entangle opponents with its monstrous vines, but an obscure fact is that its roots can parasitically merge with other plants to disguise itself in the forest, making it nearly invisible to adventurers until it's too late.
Obscurity Level: Obscure
Tanglefiend has a unique symbiotic relationship with certain rare fungi; it can secrete spores that accelerate the fungi's growth, which in turn releases chemicals enhancing the Tanglefiend's ability to sense nearby movement, effectively making it a living trap detector.
