Hi, little story... in my world, when a player reaches level 15+ they start their path to god hood. god hood is separated in 3 tiers. the first being the gods of creations, the 15 who created the universe. no stats at all. nobody can ever get to their point. the intermediate gods, those who have an actual body and stats, those we can kill or take the place of. but they are very far from level 20. they are like level 30. and then, in my world, there is the immortals who leads the world of Vesthea. they aren't all born leaders, but those are all level 20 adventurers who got their hands on what they call "the stars" these stars give immesurable powers to their wielders, also granting them the ability to share that power and the ability to be immortal to time, decease or anything that doesn't involved decapitation. they can still be killed by anybody who just cut their heads, if they lose a limb, they lose it. but aside from that they are still immortals.
My players were trying to find a star they were forced to give away to save their friends before. a few in game months later they finally got their hands back on it. the one who had it, was an arch devil named Loxorhs, he was a prince of greed and loved to just collect rare things and put it away in vaults. when Loxorhs lost his throne to another greedy bastard, the heroes were asked to remove the star because of how warping it was to the nine hells.
they got down to the vault... the labyrhinthine walls of rock were almost all destroyed, the more they got in there, the more trees, vines, bushes and flowers there was. traps were destroyed. when they reached the small 10 foot wide corridor... that led to the vault... there was so many vines and flowers the passage was unpracticable. until one of the druids in the group came close, the vines and passage would retract and let him and his friend pass. because teh star when it was in the players possessions. it was carried by that druid. and the star powers had manifested through him. now this close to it, the star just wanted to be reunited with him. but the star had passed months in the vault in hell. while it created a natural environment for itself in that vault... it had been corrupted by the nine hell powers. and now it wanted a host in order to extend its power. It was corrupted !!!
as the players entered the now destroyed vault. a place of concrete and metal, nature seemed to have bloomed there still.
vines blocked back the passage behind the heroes. and while they searched the room for treasures and traps... the druid walked to the star wanting to touch it. knowing full well that it would be absorbed in his person. the giant rose in the center of the room holding the star. openned slowly as he approached... but thanks to 2 of his party members who rolled above 20 in perception. they saw spikes looking teeths in the ground near their friend and barely had time to yell "watch it !" as the flower swallowed the star and and almost the druid as well... revealing this monstrosity of a plant !

It had been a while since i created something from scratch. its small, compared to my gold dragon that i made. but still. for soemthing i created in 3 hours. i think it was impressive enough for my players to just be in awe when they saw it. It was a decent fight that almost killed 2 of the players, forced the healer into doing survive myself first before healing others. but you have to know they were 3 players down out of 8 players. still, it was a cool fight and i didn't expect the plant to live that long. not considering they all were using blight on it.
for scale, this base is 3 inches by 3 inches. this is a huge creature.
for those who wonders, heres the stats of the thing...
