Possessing a rudimentary intelligence and an unquenchable thirst for blood, wemmuths lie in wait for most of their lives, growing to incredible size in the bloody soil of their grisly homes. Though the vines that comprise a wemmuth''s body are scarcely thicker than rope, a single adult wemmuth system consists of 6 tons of vines, enough to stretch for 6,000 feet if stretched from end to end in a single straight line. Wemmuths never orient themselves this way, however, instead preferring to wrap themselves into massive mounds approximately 15 feet across and equally thick. Although wemmuths are often spotted lazing about, the scent of blood is enough to whip one into a violent frenzy. The creature condenses its entire mass into a sphere of sharp thorns and lashing vines, resembling a hateful tumbleweed the size of an elephant. Wemmuths commonly dig up massive boulders or entire trees from the ground and incorporate them into their rolling mass, using these objects to bolster their defense against many forms of attack or hurling them at faraway foes with terrifying precision. Some speculate that wemmuths are a form of diabolical corruption let loose upon Golarion by House Thrune of Cheliax, perhaps as a scorched earth tactic against their rivals. Influential nobles from Nirmathas and Molthune both point fingers at one another for the wemmuth''s creation, Nirmathas citing Molthune''s close ties to Infernal Cheliax and Molthune blaming the primal magic commonly employed by Nirmathas''s many druids and rangers. Several Varisian tales describe creatures closely matching the wemmuth''s description attempting to apprehend a famous folk trickster, while crusaders from Mendev adhere to the belief that the wemmuths were a blight unleashed upon Golarion by Deskari, former demon lord of locusts, before his defeat at the hands of mortal heroes. **__Recall Knowledge - Plant__ (__Nature__)**: DC 34' hp: 335 hp_misc: blood leech immunities: null items: null languages: - Aklo - Sylvan - (can't speak any language) level: 15 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 4d12+10 type: bludgeoning name: pummel plus_damage: - formula: null type: Improved Grab to_hit: 29 traits: - fatal d12 - reach 15 feet - sweep name: Wemmuth perception: 25 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: Reaction critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: null effect: The wemmuth heals a number of Hit Points equal to half the total damage dealt by Constrict. effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Blood Leech range: null raw_description: '**Blood Leech** [Reaction] **Trigger** The wemmuth deals damage to a creature with Constrict. **Effect** The wemmuth heals a number of Hit Points equal to half the total damage dealt by Constrict.' requirements: null success: null traits: null trigger: The wemmuth deals damage to a creature with Constrict. - action_cost: One Action critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: 2d12+10, DC 37 effect: null effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Constrict range: null raw_description: '**Constrict** 2d12+10, DC 37' requirements: null success: null traits: null trigger: null - action_cost: Two Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: DC 37, 4d8 bludgeoning, Escape DC 35, Rupture 36 effect: null effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Engulf range: null raw_description: '**Engulf** [Two Actions] DC 37, 4d8 bludgeoning, Escape DC 35, Rupture 36' requirements: null success: null traits: null trigger: null - action_cost: None critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: Whenever a creature within 10 feet attempts a melee attack against a wemmuth or uses Acrobatics to Tumble Through its space, that creature takes 1d12+10 piercing damage. effect: null effects: null failure: null frequency: null full_description: null generic_description: null name: Thorny Mass range: null raw_description: '**Thorny Mass** Whenever a creature within 10 feet attempts a melee attack against a wemmuth or uses Acrobatics to Tumble Through its space, that creature takes 1d12+10 piercing damage.' requirements: null success: null traits: null trigger: null ranged: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 4d10+10 type: bludgeoning name: boulder plus_damage: null to_hit: 27 traits: - fatal d12 - range increment 60 feet rarity: Common resistances: null ritual_lists: null saves: fort: 27 fort_misc: null misc: null ref: 27 ref_misc: null will: 24 will_misc: null sense_abilities: null senses: - Perception +25 - darkvision - tremorsense (imprecise) 60 feet size: Huge skills: - bonus: 30 misc: null name: 'Athletics ' - bonus: 28 misc: null name: 'Deception ' - bonus: 30 misc: null name: 'Stealth ' - bonus: 27 misc: null name: 'Survival ' source: - abbr: Bestiary page_start: 326 page_stop: null speed: - amount: 25 type: Land - amount: 25 type: burrow - amount: 25 type: climb spell_lists: null traits: - NE - Huge - Plant type: Creature weaknesses: - amount: 20 type: cold - amount: 15 type: slashing
