The Death Bloom is a tropical plant that sprouts enormous flowers easily the size of a man's fist. The hues of these blossoms are typically a rich, vibrant purple in shade although it is also possible to spot some plants crowned with fiery petals.  Resembling a creeper, the tendril-like stems of these plants encircle the trunks of decaying banyan trees and other rainforest giants. 

Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the Death Bloom is its fragrance. The mild citrus scent that it exudes is said to produce a powerful torpor in anyone standing within a two-meter radius of the plant.

The two of them peered down at Erath menacingly through the trees. He rested his palm on the jeweled hilt of his sword, ready to cut one of them down the moment they touched the ground. With any luck, he could swing quickly enough not to find a dagger in his spleen. What he wasn't expecting was the sharp, discordant noise behind him. Whipping around, it was a third creature, gripping a violin in its spindly, sinister hands. Sweat still beading down his forehead, Erath looked down to the poorly scrawled sign at its feet, reading: 'Will pley 4 gold.'
