description: 'These enormous plants have thick, knotted trunks festooned with fanged
blossoms. A gaping mouth sits at the top of the trunk, capable of swallowing most
creatures smaller than the moonflower whole. Moonflowers can move slowly on their
powerful roots or use them to attack, but usually they dig them deeply into the
surrounding ground and remain stationary to await prey.
Though moonflowers can''t speak in the conventional sense, they communicate telepathically
with other moonflowers. Explorers who encounter a single moonflower can thus be
assured that any other moonflowers in the vicinity will be prepared for them. Those
who manage to intercept a moonflower''s telepathic communications are assaulted
by visions of dreadful, primeval jungles ruled over by titanic plant life. Whether
this is some vision of the past or a dream of the future shared by all moonflowers
is unknown.
Moonflowers are alien life-forms from a long-dead planet, but their proliferation
throughout the galaxy has been ensured through the machinations of the Dominion
of the Black, a sinister, alien organization from the dark places between the stars.
