The majority of the '''plants''' you'll find in [[the Dungeon]] are stationary "creatures", serving as harmless obstacles to a player's exploration.

Many plants are immune to magical effects and [[negative energy]], but [[fire]] tends to work well against them.

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

For the standard dungeon plant, see plant.

The majority of the plants you'll find in the Dungeon are stationary "creatures", serving as harmless obstacles to a player's exploration. However, there are a wide variety of aggressive, carnivorous plants that will attack you as readily as any other threat. Plants are most common in nature-themed branches like the Lair and the Swamp, though many varieties can be found elsewhere. Many plants are immune to magical effects and torment, but fire tends to work well against them.

All plants are sacred to Fedhas Madash; followers of Fedhas will not be harmed by the more hostile plants (and are forbidden from harming them in return) and gain several powers that allow them to harness plants to hinder or even directly attack their enemies.
