[SIZE=9pt]General behavior:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Due to being trees, Teradin Trees are stationary unless moved by an incredibly stupid, or well prepared being. From their places, they wait for food to walk by, mistaking them for a normal tree. Once their prey treads over the underground roots, the tree senses the mass of vibrations and acts quickly, sending a mass of tendrils to leave the base of the trunk to wrap around the victim before bringing it close enough for the limbs around the trunk to hit it with a set of poisonous paralytic spikes. Once the victim is paralyzed, the tree drags the body up into the branches where the inner leaves close around it and secrete acids which will digest the carcass.[/SIZE]
