Gnawchids are gigantic carnivorous flowers that are taller than even grown men that walk about on a set of eight roots. Their most striking feature are the yellow petals and long, flailing tendrils growing around their fang-lined maws, which helps them disguise themselves amongst the beautiful golden flowers of their habitats. The gnawchids are capable of expelling an intoxicating pollen which causes adventurers to break out into sudden dance before delivering devastating bite attacks from their sharp fangs.
