Name: Sanguine Choke vine or Xarakses Crown

Habitat: Forests surrounding Grimholdt's mountains

Rarity: Common in its habitat, but not found in other regions

Threat: Extremely dangerous, as they actively ensnare and drain the blood of living creatures that come into contact with their thorny vines.

Description: Sanguine Choke vines are red, thorny vines that grow aggressively in the forests surrounding Grimholdt's mountains. Their thorns are incredibly sharp and can easily puncture through clothing and even armor. The vines have sensory hairs that activate when they come into contact with living creatures, causing them to wrap tightly around their prey and drain them of their blood. The vines use the corpses of their victims to reproduce, spreading quickly throughout the forest and dominating the surrounding area.

Biome Role: Sanguine Choke vines are a dominant species in the forests surrounding Grimholdt's mountains, choking out other plant life and preying on animals that live in the area. They play a significant role in the ecosystem by controlling the populations of some creatures and contributing to the soil's nutrients through the decomposition of their victims.

Aging & Reproduction: Sanguine Choke vines reproduce through the use of their victims' corpses. As the vines drain their prey of blood, they will slowly wither and die, leaving behind a decomposed husk that the vines will use to spread and grow. The vines are long-lived, with some individuals surviving for centuries.

Size: Sanguine Choke vines can grow up to 10 feet in length, with thorns that can reach up to 2 inches in length.

Abilities and Features: Sanguine Choke vines are equipped with sharp thorns that can easily puncture through clothing and armor. They have sensory hairs that activate when they come into contact with living creatures, allowing them to actively ensnare and drain their prey of blood. The vines are incredibly difficult to remove once they have attached themselves to their victim, making them an incredibly dangerous species to encounter.

Cultural Significance (If applicable): Sanguine Choke vines are viewed as a dangerous and malicious species by the people of Atinaw, and are actively avoided. Some tribes have incorporated the use of the vines into their rituals and traditions, using them as a symbol of power and dominance.

Reasons to interact: There is little reason for individuals to interact with Sanguine Choke vines, as they are incredibly dangerous and deadly. However, some individuals may seek to harvest their thorns for use in weapons or armor, or to study their unique properties.

Recommended Stats for harvest and cultivation if possible: Due to their dangerous nature, there is no recommended method for harvesting or cultivating Sanguine Choke vines. Individuals are advised to stay away from them at all costs.
