->'''Level:''' 7
->'''Size:''' Large

->'''Alignment:''' NeutralGood
->'''Level:''' 12
->'''Size:''' Huge

* DefeatEqualsExplosion: If an arboreal archive dies unexpectedly before passing on their knowledge in a succession ritual, the amassed lore within their roots and boughs explodes out in a shock wave.
* TransferableMemory: When an arboreal archive senses that death is coming soon, they transfer their collected wisdom to the elected replacement before retiring.
* TheWatcher: Arboreal archives keep mental records of the passing seasons of the world around them. They primarily observe and record rather than interfere, but they willingly offer wisdom to those who respectfully seek them out.

!!Canopy Elder
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arboreal_canopyelder.png]]
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Level:''' 19
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

* GeniusLoci: The oldest arboreals can reach heights of 200 feet or more and enter a symbiotic relationship with a myriad of plants, fungi and animals. Epiphytes, mushrooms, carnivorous plants, insects, primates, big cats, birds, bats, and snakes all can call a canopy elder home and will take great pains to protect it.
* HealThyself: A canopy elder can heal itself by growing a mesh of vines around its broken branches.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Bloodplate Burster]]
->'''Level:''' 9
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Large

* HighPressureBlood: A bloodplate burster maintains a complex internal system of pressurised caustic fluid. It attacks by injecting this fluid whose caustic nature cauterises the wounds, causing pressure to build in the victim's body, escalating its internal pressure to uncontainable levels until the victim explodes in a shower of gore.
* ManEatingPlant: Bloodplate bursters are ruthless predators at the top of their food chain.

[[folder:Shambler]]
->'''Level:''' 6
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Large

Masses of vegetation formed after parasitic spores from Akiton infect and grow within an organic host.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Viper Vine]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vipervine.png]]
->'''Level:''' 13

->'''Size:''' Large

* ManEatingPlant: Viper vines gain nourishment through the consumption of creatures rather than through moisture and soil, and the area around their hunting grounds is often strewn with the remains of wild animals, ill-fated adventurers, and even giants.

->'''Size:''' Large

* AnimalAssassin: Tales often tell of people planting assassin vines in a flower bed or greenhouse of someone they wish to see dead.

* ManEatingPlant: Assassin vines collect their own fertiliser by killing animals.

[[folder:Blood Alga]]
->'''Level:''' 8 (swarm)

->'''Size:''' Diminutive

* ABloodyMess: Because blood algae swarms can release a blood-red pigment, there are many superstitious beliefs in Taldor about evil spirits that turn the water into blood to punish people.
* ManEatingPlant: Blood algae absorb some nutrients directly from the water, but to survive longer periods of time, they must feed on living creatures.

[[folder:Bloodbrush]]
->'''Level:''' 2

->'''Size:''' Small

* ChestBurster: Bloodbrush seeds germinate only in dead flesh. After 3 months of growth, the bloodbrush breaks free of its roots and rolls off in search of prey.
* PoisonousPerson: A bloodbrush's barbs deliver a sedating toxin, which causes victims to experience vivid hallucinations as the bloodbrush finishes them off.

[[folder:Bramblelash]]
->'''Level:''' 1

->'''Size:''' Medium

* UndergroundMonkey: Other varieties of bramblelashes exist along with the common temperate variety: tropical bramblelashes, which are smaller and have a poisonous attack; subterranean bramblelashes, which are leafless and defend themselves with layers of bark; and magic-fed bramblelashes, which have grown large in areas where magical energy has seeped into the earth.

[[folder:Breathless Orchid]]

[[folder:Crypt Flower]]
->'''Level:''' 7

->'''Size:''' Large

* FedToTheBeast: In certain rural areas, criminals have taken the somewhat dangerous tradition of using crypt flowers to dispose of corpses. Complex pens or troughs are built to contain the flowers and limit their movements so that they can be fed with relative safety.
* PoisonousPerson: A crypt flower can dip its vines into the toxic fluids within its pitcher and fling the liquid at enemies.

[[folder:Flowering Lattice]]
->'''Level:''' -1

->'''Size:''' Diminutive

The result of centuries of plant husbandry, flowering lattices are delicate networks of vines that form blossoming nets laden with fruits, berries, and flowers. As many as 12 varieties of flower grow from an individual flowering lattice, with each bloom opening at different times of the year and hours of the day to ensure a nearly constant array of colorful petals.

Their stats can be found in ''Ultimate Wilderness'' or online [[https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/plants/flowering-lattice/ here]].

[[folder:Glimmervine]]
->'''Level:''' 4

->'''Size:''' Medium

* ManEatingPlant: Glimmervines dazzle small prey with their iridescent blossoms before crushing them to death with impossibly strong tendrils. The blood and decomposing flesh of their prey seep into the ground like fertiliser for glimmervines' roots to absorb as nutrients.

[[folder:Gluttongrass]]
->'''Level:''' 1

->'''Size:''' Medium

* FusionDance: If at least 12 gluttongrasses take root in a single contiguous area, their roots begin to commingle. As long as the gluttongrasses do not move from their locations for at least 24 hours, this process culminates in their merger into a single creature called gluttongrass field.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mire Nettle]]
->'''Level:''' 2

->'''Size:''' Small

* PoisonousPerson: A mire nettle's thorns contain painful toxin.

[[folder:Oppali]]
->'''Level:''' 10

->'''Size:''' Large

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Petrifern]]

->'''Size:''' Diminutive

[[folder:Razor Fern]]
->'''Level:''' -1

->'''Size:''' Tiny

Razor ferns are ambulatory ambush predators with rigid leaf structures that can open painful wounds. Although they prefer to prey on small forest creatures, a razor fern won't hesitate to slash at a larger target while that creature sleeps or is otherwise distracted.

Their stats can be found in ''Ultimate Wilderness'' or online [[https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/plants/razor-fern/ here]].

* {{Familiar}}: They can be taken as familiars without any additional requirements, granting their master a bonus to Stealth checks.

[[folder:Sawdust Slough]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pathfinder_swadust_slough.png]]
->'''Level:''' 4

->'''Size:''' Large

As the blood of fey guardians is spilled and spirits of ancient plants and wild places are destroyed, the wild power sometimes weaves itself into the sawdust and shavings left behind by loggers, spawning mindlessly destructive masses of detritus called sawdust sloughs.

* GaiasVengeance: As Andoren loggers kill fey guardians and spirits of ancient plants and wild places, the wild power sometimes weaves itself into the sawdust and shavings left behind, spawning sawdust sloughs. Sawdust sloughs are drawn to loud noises and vibrations, especially metallic sounds such as chopping and sawing, and savagely attack loggers and mills.
* MadeOfIncendium: Sawdust sloughs and the particulate cloud surrounding them are highly flammable, causing any damaging flame around them to flare up.
* SeeTheInvisible: A sawdust slough constantly releases particles of plant matter that form a cloud of choking dust which clings to and reveals invisible creatures.

[[folder:Shadow Fern]]
->'''Level:''' 4

* WeakenedByTheLight: Shadow ferns use darkness for essential life functions in the same way normal plants use sunlight for photosynthesis, and are weakened in bright areas.

[[folder:Suture Vine]]
->'''Level:''' -1

->'''Size:''' Tiny

Thorny, symbiotic organisms that snag rides on wounded animals, seek out open wounds, and knit those injuries closed -- all while absorbing fairly harmless amounts of blood.

Their stats can be found in ''Ultimate Wilderness'' or online [[https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/plants/suture-vine/ here]].

* {{Familiar}}: They can be taken as familiars without any additional requirements, granting their master a bonus to Heal checks.
* TheSymbiote: Mutualism example. They seal up the wounds of other creatures, and in turn they get fed. Wildlife returns the favor by not eating them and seeking them out if injured.

[[folder:Weedwhip]]
->'''Level:''' 2

->'''Size:''' Medium

* ThatsNoMoon: A weedwhip looks like a normal plant when at rest, and rarely attacks unless provoked, but its unpleasant smell and tendency to sprout in any passable soil makes it a nuisance to farmers and settlers who will be met with a nasty surprise when they try to cull the weedwhip.

[[folder:Xtabay]]
->'''Level:''' 0
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Small
----
* ForcedSleep: A xtabay can release sleep-inducing pollen into the air around it.
* ManEatingPlant: After subduing prey, a xtabay begins to consume the entirety of its body over the course of several days, producing a corrosive acid that breaks down and absorbs flesh and bone.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Yaiafineti]]
->'''Level:''' 8
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Large
----
* BigEater: Yaiafineti have developed a vigorous appetite, and feed unceasingly.

* ManEatingPlant: The yaiafineti draws nutrients from a living creature it has swallowed.
* TheParalyzer: Yaiafineti polyps secrete a fine dust that acts as a paralytic poison that seizes the nervous system of creatures who come in contact with them.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Yellow Musk Creeper]]
->'''Level:''' 2
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Medium
----
* ParasiteZombie: After killing prey, a yellow musk creeper infests them with its seeds and pollen, then animates them as zombies. These zombies are animated by the plant that grows throughout their body, and are classified as plants, not undead.
[[/folder]]

Plants are precisely what they sound like -- {{Planimal}}s, animated plants and plant-based creatures of various sorts. In 1st Edition, fungal creatures were also included in this category, before being split off in 2nd Edition.

[[folder:Petrifern]]
->'''Level:''' -1

[[folder:Leshy Familiar]]

->'''Size:''' Small

Plant creatures originally grown as servants to fey lords and elder treants. For their larger, playable cousins, see Characters/PathfinderPlayableRaces.

* ArtificialHuman: They are artificially created rather than born -- their bodies are grown through special magic rituals much like normal plants, at which point a magic ritual is used to call a nature spirit to animate them.
* PlantPerson: Their bodies are grown from vegetable manner much like normal plants, and as such they resemble humanoid clusters of vegetable matter. Their specific type depends on what specific sort of vegetable organisms went into growing their bodies, resulting in gourd leshys, seaweed leshys, fungus leshys, leaf leshys, etc.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Of a sort. The spirits that animate them remain in existence after their corporeal bodies die, and can be summoned to animate a new leshy. They can thus inhabit any number of physical bodies of any and all sorts of leshys over time, although each death robs them of all but a few faint memories of their corporeal lives.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Leshy familiars can transform themselves into a seemingly inanimate version of whichever plants they're based on -- a pumpkin plant, a mushroom, a venus flytrap, a lotus flower or so on.

!!Leaf Leshy
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leaf_leshy.png]]
->'''Level:''' 0

Tree-tending leshys enamored with fighting and heroism, but cautious and wary in actual combat.

* BloodKnight: Downplayed. Leaf leshys are some of the most combat-happy of their kind, and spend much of their free time engaging in extensive mock battles and duels. However, they're quite aware that real battles are not games and act much cautiously and strategically during them.
* ForestRanger: Leaf leshys are meant to oversee the health and protection of trees and other arboreal plants, making them the primary type of leshy found guarding forests from harm. Due to their diminutive size and limited strength, they typically serve as a first line of defense and troubleshooting before more powerful beings, such as nymphs and treants, get involved.
* GardenGarment: Leaf leshys wear armor made from pinecones and hats and cloaks made from leaves, flowers and fruit rinds, which they fashion themselves.
* NotQuiteFlight: Leaf leshys can use their leafy "wings" to pull off a serviceable glide.

!!Gourd Leshy
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gourd_leshy.png]]
->'''Level:''' 1

Based on squashes, pumpkins and similar vegetables, these superstitious leshys are tasked with overseeing agriculture and harvests.

* BulletSeed: They can spit their own seeds as a ranged attack.
* CraniumCompartment: As they need to have the large gourds that serve as their heads physically carved in order to create their faces, all gourd leshys' heads are hollow and with a "lid" where their pumpkins were originally cut into. They often take advantage of this in order to store small items inside their craniums.
* PumpkinPerson: They have heads made from pumpkins carved into faces. This is not an inherent part of their anatomy -- their gourds are solid while the body is being grown, and need to be carved so that the leshy will be able to see and speak. Since the carving is done artificially, it can reflect any number of styles -- grinning jack-o'-lanterns are the most common, but others are depicted with elaborately decorated African gourds for heads, for example.

!!Sunflower Leshy
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sunflower_leshy.png]]
->'''Level:''' 1

Personable and gregarious, sunflower leshys serve as the ambassadors and diplomats of the plant-folk's communities, both among each other and with the animal cultures of the wider world.

* BulletSeed: Sunflower leshys can spray dense bursts of their seeds in a wide cone from their heads.
* LivingMoodRing: When they're happy or excited, their eyes and petals glow with stored sunlight. Conversely, when sad or depressed, they become dull and muted in color. This is noted to have had a noticeable impact on their cultural associations with colors -- for instance, while a human artist would likely depict Hell as [[FireAndBrimstoneHell full of blazing fire and glowing lava]], a sunflower leshy would depict it as a place of shadows and dull monochromes.

!!Cactus Leshy
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cactus_leshy.png]]
->'''Level:''' 2

Solitary leshys who watch over arid, barren environments, infamous among those who know them for their acerbic temperaments. Cactus leshys are physically extremely varied, taking on any and all of the contorted and fantastical shapes of mundane cacti.

* CactusPerson: Cactus leshys are born from succulent plants, and exist to protect and nurture desert flora. There are also pesh leshys, or "peshys", a variant whose bodies are crafted from the pesh cacti that the setting's main narcotic drug is derived from and who are known to aid pesh farmers in their trade.
* SpikeShooter: They can launch their own spines like projectiles at several feet of distance.
* TheSpiny: The sharp prickles that cover every inch of their bodies will stab into and damage anyone who engages them in melee with bare hands or natural weapons.

!!Fungus Leshy
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fungus_leshy.png]]
->'''Level:''' 2

Grotesque-looking leshys that watch over decomposition and the recycling of nutrients back into the environment.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Fungus leshys are the most visually monstrous leshys -- they have multiple beady red eyes dotted randomly on the fronts of their mushroom-like caps and gaping mouths full of sharp teeth, and make their homes deep underground and in the middle of rotting swamps. They are no more malevolent than any other leshy, and in fact serve an important role in overseeing the natural processes of rot and decomposition, ensuring that dead matter is efficiently recycled and sent back into the environment.
* ExtraEyes: While there are exceptions, art of fungus leshys usually depicts them with multiple eyes scattered across their faces.
* MushroomMan: They resemble stout, humanoid mushrooms with a large numbers of small eyes dotting the front of their cap and large, gaping mouths. They are grown in compost heaps, swamps and underground fungal gardens, and manage and oversee the natural processes of rot and decomposition.

!!Lichen Leshy
->'''Level:''' 3

Lichen leshys are the wanderers of their kind, possessed of strong urges to travel and seek out stark, isolated landscapes. There they sit and rest, contemplating the new vistas they're found while their fungal bodies slowly degrade the harsh rock into soil that can support new life.

* AcidAttack: The bodies of lichen leshys secrete a powerful acid capable of dissolving stone. This is mostly useful for breaking down large chunks of hard material when the leshy has several hours to spare, but can also be used in combat by spitting a cluster of acid-laced fungal filaments at a target.
* GardenGarment: Lichen leshys wear cloaks woven out of their namesake flora.
* MushroomMan: Partly. Lichen leshys are humanoids with bodies made up of amorphous fungus-alga symbiotes.
* WallCrawl: Lichen leshys cling to surfaces just as stubbornly as their namesakes, and can scramble right up vertical surfaces at need.

!!Seaweed Leshy
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seaweed_leshy.png]]
->'''Level:''' 3

Proud, marine leshys that tend to aquatic plants.

* BreathWeapon: Seaweed leshys can spit a high-pressure jet of water at a range of thirty feet.
* FantasticRacism: In a somewhat odd example, seaweed leshys have this attitude towards freshwater plants, which they treat like city dwellers might treat country bumpkins.
* PlantHair: Their illustration in the 2E ''Bestiary 3'' depicts them with long strands of seaweed for hair.

!!Flytrap Leshy
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flytrap_leshy.png]]
->'''Level:''' 4

A small humanoid with a Venus flytrap for a head, and smaller traps instead of hands. Flytrap leshys oversee those aspects of nature that seem harsh and cruel but are necessary for the ecosystem to thrive, such as predation and wildfires.

* DarkIsNotEvil: They're highly aggressive and eagerly attack intruders, they're the only leshys to eat meat and the natural process that they oversee are typically those that cause other creatures to die. They're not evil, however, just territorial, and the processes they tend to are necessary for the continued health of ecosystems -- natural environments rarely thrive without predation, for instance.
* FusionDance: Flytrap leshys can fuse with each other to form a towering, multi-headed carnivorous behemoth that splits back into its component leshys when "killed".
* ImmuneToFire: Flytrap leshys are resistant to fire damage, allowing them to more easily control wildfires as part of their duties.
* ManEatingPlant: They're humanoid, ambulatory flytraps around the size of a child, and unlike other leshys they greatly enjoy eating meat. Downplayed in that, although they have no problems whatsoever with eating vertebrate meat (including that of would-be intruders on the land they protect) and are quite aggressive, they much prefer eating insects when they can.
* MultipleHeadCase: More powerful flytrap leshys are distinguished from their kin by their greater number of heads.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: The duties of flytrap leshys include starting and managing controlled wildfires and corralling uncontrolled ones -- thematically, both fires and predation are destructive processes necessary for the health of ecosystems. In order to be able to actually do this, and quite unlike the standard weaknesses of plant people, they have innate fire resistance.

!!Lotus Leshy
->'''Level:''' 5

Secretive and contemplative leshys who protect ponds, springs and lakes.
----
* BulletSeed: Lotus leshys can spit a jet of up to six seeds at a ranged action, either all at one target or subdivided between different enemies.
* ForcedSleep: Their pollen can force other creatures to sleep, as can their BulletSeed attack.
* MysticalLotus: Lotus leshys are the most monastic and contemplative of their kind, spending most of their time meditating in lotus form while watching over isolated ponds but eagerly engaging visitors in discussions on philosophy, enlightenment and theology.
* WalkOnWater: A variant. Lotus leshys automatically create paths of lotus and water lily leaves when walking across bodies of water.

[[folder:Living Topiary]]
->'''Level:''' 4
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Medium

Animal shaped flora that turn other plants into more of their kind.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: A living topiary can alter itself to take on the basic form of any creature, though the change is purely cosmetic.

[[folder:Lotus Tree]]
->'''Level:''' 20
->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral
->'''Size:''' Gargantuan

Ancient trees that feed on fantasies, luring in those who seek escape reality.

* LotusEaterMachine: A living creature that approaches a lotus tree or eats its fruit hallucinates pleasantly. If subsequently charmed by the lotus tree, they forget all longterm goals, desiring only more hallucinations.

[[folder:Lythirium]]
->'''Level:''' 11
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralGood

* ForestRanger: Lythiriums prowl Golarion’s densest forests, seeking to protect the wild, untouched natural growth they hold sacred.
* HornAttack: A lythirium has immense, antlerlike growths on its head, which teem with constantly growing thorny vines that can entangle creatures and make them bleed.

[[folder:Mandragora]]
->'''Level:''' 4
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil

When mandrake roots draw on demon ichor, they grow into distorted humanoid figures with an unsettling shriek.

* TheBerserker: When a mandragora encounters any other creature (except druids), it attacks regardless of the odds.

[[folder:Mosslord]]
->'''Level:''' 18
->'''Alignment:''' LawfulEvil
->'''Size:''' Large

Living personifications of the forest's vengeance, as old as plants themselves.

* FesteringFungus: A mosslord can cast ''fungal infestation'' as a spell-like ability to infect other creatures with parasitic fungi, blighting them with both toadstools and other growths sprouting from their skin and with vulnerability to physical damage as the fungi growing in their bodies turn their flesh fragile and soft.
* GaiasVengeance: The ''Gaia's Avenger'' variant. Mosslords hate civilization and wish to see it swallowed by the wilderness, and most of their schemes and plots are focused on brining this about.
* GreenThumb: Mosslords can animate, control and communicate with plants, and are especially adept at controlling fungi and moss. They can also turn the limbs of foes they strike in melee into immobile wooden branches.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Mosslords have four arms, granting them four claw attacks in combat.
* {{Transflormation}}: Their ''Deadwood Curse'' special ability allows them to transform one limb of any foe they strike in melee into a gnarled, immobile wooden branch.
