Hello guys, just a quick question:
Do you know of any plants that can fly? I'm looking for one to turn into with my lvl8 druid, via Enhance Wild Shape spell, so the limit would be 8hd.

Thanks.

Edit: Just found this (http://monsterfinder.dndrunde.de/)and there seems to be no flying plant under 8hd. Well, that's a bummer.:smallannoyed:

Dread Blossoms (MM3) have 7 HD, and can fly- but they're a swarm of Tiny plants, not a single plant.

EDIT: Also, there are templates to turn creatures into plants, and some don't affect movement types like swim, fly, climb, etc.

If you use the Wood Element Creature template from Manual of the Planes, but don't use the Elemental Plane of Wood, the affected creature has the Plant type instead of the Elemental type and the Wood subtype).

The Thunderspiker (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fw/20050211a) has 50ft (average) flight but it's 10HD. That's the lowest HD flying non-swarm plant i'm aware of.

Can't wild shape into anything with a template. Read Alternate Form (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#alternateForm):


A creature cannot use alternate form to take the form of a creature with a template.
