Plant: Monstrous flytraps have the traits and immunities common to plants.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this
ability, a monstrous flytrap must hit with its bite attack. If it gets a hold, it can attempt to swallow its opponent (see below), provided its opponent is at least two
size categories smaller than it. See
Improved Grab.
Swallow Whole (Ex): A monstrous flytrap can swallow a grabbed opponent two
size categories smaller than it by making a successful
grapple check. The swallowed
creature can attack the flytrap from inside its mouth using claws or a Small or Tiny slashing
weapon. The flytrap does not release its opponent until it is slain or its swallowed prey is completely drained of blood (that is, dead). A monstrous flytrap's mouth can swallow only one opponent at a time and cannot attack while it drains a
creature's blood.
Blood Drain (Ex): A
creature swallowed by a monstrous flytrap takes 1d6+13 points of
damage every round due to blood loss. For every 3
hit points it drains, the monstrous flytrap heals 1
hit point of
damage. After draining its swallowed prey to death, it expectorates the lifeless husk and seeks out its next meal.
Automatic Language: Monstrous flytraps raised from seedlings can be taught to speak (but neither read nor write) one language.
