Creature 9 — amphibious, plant

Though most sargassum heaps divide once they grow too large, occasionally a heap will continue to grow indefinitely. These "doldrum heaps" can tangle and immobilize ships, tearing them apart or feasting on the hapless passengers.

Mirage Spores (aura, incapacitation, mental) — 300 feet. The sargassum heap constantly produces a field of hallucinogenic spores that causes those affected to see the monster as whatever they desire most. Each creature within the emanation must succeed a DC 27 Will save or become Fascinated with the sargassum heap and compelled to move toward it on the creature's turn. Creatures fascinated this way are also Off-Guard. If the sargassum heap attacks, the fascinated condition ends only for the creature that is attacked. On a successful save, a creature is temporarily immune to mirage spores for 24 hours.
