Unlike dandelions, countefloras do not have separate flowering and seeding stages, and can release their intoxicating seedpods as long as their bracts are open. Countefloras exhibit a strange intellect and communicate with one another by releasing invisible pheromones into the air. Alone, a desperate counteflora may ally with another creature if it is offered water or fertile soil. Contrary to popular belief, countefloras absorb sunlight for sustenance; they do not attack other creatures to feast upon them. Rather, the reason countefloras go to such lengths to kill their opponents is to fertilize the surrounding soil and create a nutrient-rich environment for their seedpods. **__Recall Knowledge - Plant__ (__Nature__)**: DC 27' hp: 220 hp_misc: null immunities: - poison items: null knowledge_checks: dc: 27 skills: - Nature languages: null level: 10 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d6+9 type: slashing name: vines plus_damage: null to_hit: 21 traits: - agile - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 3d10+9 type: bludgeoning name: head plus_damage: null to_hit: 23 traits: - reach 10 feet - sweep name: Counteflora perception: 18 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: Two Actions critical_failure: null critical_success: null description: 'The counteflora releases a cloud of black seedpods in a 15-foot-radius emanation.
