Terror Lily

These grow in large open areas with lots of direct sunlight and damp soil. These flowers bloom in the spring with a large single bloom sprouting from the top and multiple pod on the stalk approximately six to eight inches in diameter. Terror lillies grow taller than an average adult human in height and grow typically in a large patch of dozens to hundreds of stalks. Terror lily's are propagate by sprout an new member as a bud from a root. This is why a terror lily field is a dense mat of interconnected roots squeezing out most other plants. The terror lily sports a unique defense mechanism. The pods on the stock will explosively rupture and spew out a hallucinogenic pollen as a defense to damage to the plant, root, stalk, or flower. The cloud of pollen will occupy a two meter space for sixty seconds until the pollen falls to the ground or the wind disperses the cloud. Interestingly, the pods rupture on the same side the damage happens and only one pod at a time will rupture. There pollen acts upon the central nervous system by being ingested through respiration, ingestion, or prolonged skin contact. Breathing in the pollen or consuming it affects the brain causing a hyper elevated response in the emotion centers of the brain causing a irrational fear response. The affected is for purposes, terrified, and will abandon the area in terror fleeing at best possible speed for several rounds depending upon dosage.
