If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. Innate Spellcasting. The blossom haltija's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 13). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: bane, entangle, speak with plants 1/Day: plant growth, tree stride Relentless (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest).

Hit: 9 (3d4 + 2) bludgeoning damage.

A blossom haltija is a forest spirit born from the collective power of the ghosts of animals killed or driven from their homes by farmers, and is driven by their anger and fear. Most of its body is made up of its "mouth": jawbones, teeth, claws, and shards of jagged bone from countless animals arranged in a complex radial pattern, resembling a rose more than any piece of animal anatomy. Beyond this trails a spine, made of similarly mismatched bones, from which hangs a ribcage of antlers. Wrapped around every fragment of its body, the haltija has rusty barbed wire in vine-like patterns. Although lacking a digestive system, these beings have a endless hunger which they attempt to stave off by tearing up vegetation and shredding it into a pulpy mush, which simply falls past their ribs and on to the ground. They especially enjoy feeding from crops, practically burrowing through fields and pastures as they ruin entire harvests. While feeding, they react violently to attempts to stop them, as well as practically any distraction; perhaps ironically, if they see wildlife feeding from farmed land, this drive causes them to chase down and kill the creatures.
