Calamity Blossom & Ember Bloom
Calamity Blossom
Medium Plant, Unaligned
CR 7 (2,900 XP)
Seemingly a piece of volcanic rock, when disturbed the Calamity Blossom's obsidian petals unfurl, releasing a cloud of superheated, incendiary pollen that ignites upon contact with air. Sensing movement or a presence the plant attempts to create ideal conditions to spread and reproduce on the crags and inhospitable environments it is often found in.
Calamity Blossoms are ideal to add surprises in volcanic regions, ash-choked battlefields, or arcane ecosystems. Whether used as a natural hazard, magical resource, or anchor point for fire-themed encounters, this deadly flora ensures your players never look at flowers the same way again. The Calamity Blossom's symbiotic relationship with the Ember Bloom lends itself for dynamic and varied types of encounters.
Ember Bloom
Small Plant, neutral
CR 2 (450 XP)
These creatures lurk near lava flows, wildfire ruins, or volcanic slopes. Dormant at first, they jerk to life when warm-blooded prey steps too close. Their limbs glow with pulsing heat, and they attack in flickering bursts of sparks and flame. Though a minor threat alone, they rarely travel solo. Especially when a Calamity Blossom blooms nearby, Ember Blooms gather like moths to the fire.
Ember Blooms are perfect for fiery wilderness encounters, volcanic temples, or as the environmental consequence of magical wildfires. Their behavior builds synergy with other flame-based hazards, especially Calamity Blossoms. Both of these creatures are coveted by alchemists and wizards for their unique biology and potential as magical crafting materials and for research.
