"Lady's and gentlemen,here we have an a perfect example of the wonders of nature. I give you my very own discovery,the one ,the only,Carnivorous Vine!
Thank you,thank you. You sir,in the red coat. You have a question? Well,I discovered the vine in the Maqkval jungle,on one of my expeditions. Why yes,miss,it was the same expedition that I uncovered the lost sigil of Dominaq the third. Nice job keeping up with my work! I need more fans like you.
So,in any case,I was deep in the jungle,tracking a tiger. I had been on its trail for days,and was only now drawing near. I had just spotted it in a clearing,and was creeping closer,my crossbow at my shoulder. And when I got there,it was gone! Nothing was left,save one clump of fur in a pile of vines. And then,I started to get that jittery feeling I have when I'm on to something. I took a strip of meat from my knapsack,and threw it on the vines. I then called for my assistant,Docter Joseph.
When I turned around,the meat was gone! "Joseph,"I say,"this is something big! I shall give you the honer of being the first to approach the specimen."
Sadly,you all know what happened next. It shall forever haunt my dreams,the way Joseph's face,melting from the acid sunk into the plant,how the plant joined in the screams,taunting me,telling me to save him. It doesn't bear thinking about. But what could I do? Later,I came back with a Mage,and we managed to capture it...
You,little girl? What's your question? No,of course it can't get out. It can never get out...

Combat
Carnivorous Vines use simple tactics: It lies still until prey comes within reach, then attacks. It uses its entangle ability both to catch prey and to deter counterattacks.
Constrict (Ex)
Carnivorous Vines deal (1d8+10+acid) points of damage with a successful grapple check.
Entangle (Su)
Carnivorous Vines can animate plants within 30 feet of itself as a free action (Ref DC 29 partial).
The effect lasts until the vine dies or decides to end it (also a free action). The save DC is Wisdom-based. The ability is otherwise similar to entangle (caster level 4th).
Improved Grab (Ex)
To use this ability, Carnivorous Vines must hit with its slam attack.
It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict.
Blindsight (Ex)
Carnivorous Vines have no visual organs but can ascertain all foes within 30 feet using sound, scent, and vibration.
Camouflage (Ex)
Since Carnivorous Vines look like a normal plant when at rest, it takes a DC 30 Spot check to notice it before it attacks.
Anyone with ranks in Survival or Knowledge (nature) can use one of those skills instead of Spot to notice the plant.
Tremorsense (Ex)
Carnivorous Vines can detect and pinpoint any creature or object within 60 feet in contact with the ground.
Mimic Sound (Ex) Carnivorous Vines can perfectly mimic familiar sounds, voices, and accents. These sounds can be any that it has heard before. It takes a DC 29 Listen check to notice that it is fabricated.
Skills
Carnivorous Vines have a +8 racial bonus on Climb and Hide checks. They can use either their Strength or Dexterity modifier for Climb checks, whichever is higher. Carnivorous Vines can take 10 on Climb checks, even if threatened or distracted.
