This massive monstrosity is a terrifying fusion of apex predator and corrupted nature, featuring a haunting canine skull head and a lethal serrated leaf mane. Atop its back sits a heavy, unexploded floral bud, hinting at the necro-botanic power this 'Huge' scale creature brings to your tabletop encounters.
A predatory plant-beast stalking through a jungle, its jaws open in a snarl or preparing to release spores from its back-mounted bud.
This creature serves as a formidable boss for a party of mid-level adventurers, likely found in a corrupted forest, a shadow-plane garden, or as a guardian of a dark druid's grove.
