Tangleroot

One of the first dangers encountered by the newcomers. A trio of explorers encountered these strange tree-like plants have a network of thick hardened roots just below the surface of the ground. When a creature walks over these roots it triggers a reaction where they spring from the ground and wrap tightly around this prey. Provided the creature does not escape it dies and then provides nutrients for these plants. This does provide a tell-tale sign of the plants for someone who knows what to look for.
