Wandering Herb

CALAMUS (#10/31, #284/365) [TTHA]

Appearance: The Calamus is a weird sentient plant-creature resembling a ball of tumbleweed, with various whip-like limbs, and ranges in size from half a metre up to three metres in size.

Distribution: Plains, deserts and arid areas in warmer places across Titan.

Effects: The Calamus is generally hostile, and a slain creature can be harvested for both its thorny whip-fronds (these do damage as per Whips, with +1 to the Damage Roll) and its exploding seedpods. 1-2 of the former can be collected and sell at the same price as regular whips plus 1gp extra. Of the latter, 2-7 can be harvested and they can be thrown in combat at an enemy and explode for 1-3 stamina damage per successful hit.

Cost: City 4gp, Town 6gp, Village 8gp (per seedpod)

Availability: Rare

Further Notes: See Denizens of the Pit (pp. 10-11) for more information.
