Like most monsters based off of player [[species]], vine stalkers do not spawn naturally. If you see one, it's probably a shapeshifter. They may also spawn in certain endings of [[The Swamp]]. Be aware that they regenerate more quickly than normal and have an [[antimagic]] bite, though neither are likely to matter much to characters that encounter one.

A bizarre symbiotic creature, made up of a carnivorous vine magically combined with a humanoid.

“The monstrous plant bud . . . had grown again with preternatural rapidity, from Falmer's head. A loathsome pale-green stem was mounting thickly, and had started to branch like antlers after attaining a height of six or seven inches.
“More dreadful than this, if possible, similar growths had issued from the eyes; and their stems, climbing vertically across the forehead, had entirely displaced the eyeballs.”
-Clark Ashton Smith, “The Seed from the Sepulcher”. 1933.

Useful Info

Vine stalkers are hybrid plant creatures.

Tips & Tricks

Like most monsters based off of player species, vine stalkers do not spawn naturally. If you see one, it's probably a shapeshifter. They may also spawn in decorative arrival or Pandemonium vaults.

Be aware that vine stalkers regenerate more quickly than normal and have an antimagic bite, though neither are likely to matter much to characters that encounter one.

History

Monstrous vine stalkers were added in 0.14 along with the player race.
