A large and vivid bloom drifting placidly upon the surface of the water. Beware, for its beauty is deceptive; cradled within its petals lies a stigma bristling with needle-like thorns, fully capable of impaling predators and unwitting adventurers alike before they can draw close enough to threaten it.

Useful Info

Thorn lotuses are perpetually confused plant monsters which float in pools of water, shooting thorns at you every so often. Although they often decide to pass their turns or spend them moving randomly, these thorns can do significant damage when they hit, and the lotuses are occasionally accompanied by other random monsters. Thorn lotuses can be encountered in any pool of water in the Swamp.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you encounter a thorn lotus along with land-based opponents, lure its allies away from the water; the lotus won't be going anywhere.
  • Repel Missiles and Deflect Missiles are every bit as effective here as they are everywhere else. Invisibility also helps quite a bit (so long as you're standing on land).
