Abilities

Verdant Burst (healing, plant) — When a sunflower leshy dies, a burst of primal energy explodes from its body, restoring 1d8 healing Hit Points to each plant creature in a 30-foot emanation. This area immediately fills with sunflowers, becoming difficult terrain. If the terrain is not a viable environment for these sunflowers, they wither after 24 hours.
Change Shape (concentrate, polymorph, primal) — The sunflower leshy transforms into a Small flower. This ability otherwise uses the effects of One with Plants. Change Shape
Heliotrope (aura, light, primal) — 20 feet. Requirements The sunflower leshy begins its turn in an area of bright light Effect The sunflower leshy reflects the sun or another source of bright light from their face. Each creature that ends its turn in the emanation must attempt a DC 16 Will save. **Success** The creature is unaffected and is temporarily immune to heliotrope for 24 hours. **Failure** The creature is distracted by the light, becoming Off-Guard for 1 round. **Critical Failure** As failure, but the creature is also Dazzled for 1 round.
Seed Spray (primal) — The sunflower leshy launches a deluge of seeds from their head in a 15-foot cone, dealing 2d6 bludgeoning damage to creatures within the area (DC 16 Reflex save). It gains a +2 status bonus to this damage against Dazzled creatures. The sunflower leshy can't use Seed Spray again for 1d4 rounds.
