Thresher Moss
Thresher Moss growths form tight clusters on walls, floors, and ceilings, where they become nearly indistinguishable from other types of cave moss unless a trained eye can make out their vaguely humanoid shape. When hapless prey passes by, the moss will sluff off of the wall and pursue its target. Its dense limbs can deliver blows forceful enough to stun even the hardiest warrior. Thresher Moss attempts to absorb victims and cover them in powerful enzymes that break down nearly all organic material.
