Giant Orchid Mantis
Anyone caught flat-footed in the first round has lost ground to this camouflaged predator, whose barbed limbs pin their prey.
A flower-shaped killer the size of a wolf, the giant orchid mantis sits motionless among petals until prey wanders close, then unfolds in a blur of barbed limbs.
In play
Barbed Limbs [Two Actions] The giant orchid mantis makes two leg Strikes. If it hits the same creature with both attacks, that creature is grabbed until the end of the mantis's next turn.
Sudden Strike In the first round of combat, creatures that haven't acted are off-guard to the orchid mantis.
