'''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 [[elemental wellspring]]s, [[water nymph]]s, and other random monsters. Thorn lotuses can be encountered in any pool of water in the [[Enchanted Forest]].

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 elemental wellsprings, water nymphs, and other random monsters. Thorn lotuses can be encountered in any pool of water in the Enchanted Forest.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you encounter a thorn lotus along with several land-based opponents, lure them away from the water; the lotus won't be going anywhere.
