Acid Spitter

Species: Acid Spitter

Family: Plant

Risk level: Medium

Weaknesses: Fire

Description: Acid Spitters are essentially giant monster fly traps, which instead of coating their inards with secreting juices they gather it up to later shoot it at their victims. They grow in large batches of around seven individual plants, but can it can grow larger, if they have enough food to sustain them. They are around the size of young trees and don't often reach higher, but there were cases when one managed to grow up to ten meters, due to the fact that it previously absorbed the entire village of people.

They can injest food in two ways. First one is by absorbing the liquified remains of their prey using their roots and the second is when anything is foolish enough to get close to it and gets trapped by its huge maws. It is almost impossible to escape ones catched, because it produces, in addition to acid, paralizing toxin to imobilize anything that is inside of it.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Fortunately, they are immobile kind of monster and due to their extreme predatory behaviour they often wipe out anything that is even half digestable, which causes them to slowly starve themself overtime. They overcompensate it by their resilence and rapid reproduction, but it can be quickly stopped if all of their remains are disposed of before it manages to grow further. If you suspect that one of this plants grows near your location it is highly recommended to inform the nearest Blood Hunt base or Knight barracks, for them to exterminate the threat.

Personal notes: "We need to often exterminate them, because of their nasty tendency to grow near population. They are also queite resilent and need special preperations to wipe them all out of the area or they will grow back up in around a month. To do this we must forst burn the part of the plant that is on the surface and then pull out the roots that are left and burn it too. It still doesn't stop it from regrowing in that region but it still lenghtens the time it needs to show up again." Hall Marnic, Knight of Erdeic Order
