>>5896729I went through a few different iterations on what I wanted for that specific monster, but ultimately decided on a build I thought would be engaging. And it wasn't technically a plant, it's just that its tentacles strongly resembled vines and had an outer layer of moss on them that further solidified the deception. Pic related would be an ACTUAL plant-monster.
I definitely have a solid set of potential crew members planned out, and it'd most certainly be wise to expand your numbers a bit while in Threespice.
