Traits

Vulnerability to Darkness.
Every time a seedkin ends its turn in complete darkness, it must succeed
on a DC 14 Constitution save, or lose 2 (1d4) hit points. A seedling

becomes dormant. While dormant it is indistinguishable from a normal
weed or other small plant. Any source of light will awaken it from its
dormant state.

A seedkin can grapple a creature that is two size categories larger than
itself.

Release Seed Pod

Targets one creature grappled by the seedkin spawner.
The target, and all other living creatures who are not seedkin must
succeed on a DC 15 Constitution save, or become infected with 10
(1d10 + 5) seeds. The seedkin seeds grow undetected on the body for 2
(1d4) days until the day before they hatch. On the day before, boils
begin to form on the victim’s body. Once ready to sprout, the seedkin
burst from the boils, causing 2 (1d4) points of piercing damage per seed
on the targets body. Remove disease, or a magical effect of equal power
can destroy the seeds before they sprout.

Telepathic Bond.

mile radius. The creature can respond if it wishes. No common language
is required.

Bind Seedkin.
All seedkin within a mile radius must obey the telepathic commands of a
seedkin slaver.

Actions

Briar Tendrils.
Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.
Hit: 8 (1d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled.

Bite
Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.
Hit: 11 (1d8 + 5) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC
15 Constitution save or become poisoned for 1 hour.

Control Host
Targets one creature grappled by the slaver.
The slaver bores its tendrils into the target to begin the process of taking
control. The target immediately takes 2 (1d4) piercing damage and 4
(1d8) poison damage, or half as much on a successful DC 15
Constitution save. If the target fails its save they become poisoned for 1
hour and have disadvantage on Wisdom saves for the duration. If the
slaver is still grappling the target at the start of the slaver’s next turn, the
target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom save or become dominated by
the slaver as if under the effects of a permanent suggestion spell.
