The Gnawchid is a feral flower monster introduced in the eleventh game. It has a slightly more subdued color scheme than its brethren, being a dull green all the way through save for its petals and tendril tips. Its name is a play on the flower orchid and the English verb "gnaw".

Characteristics

Gnawchids are gigantic carnivorous flowers that are taller than even grown men that walk about on a set of eight roots. Their most striking feature are the yellow petals and long, flailing tendrils growing around their fang-lined maws, which helps them disguise themselves amongst the beautiful golden flowers of their habitats. The Gnawchids are capable of expelling an intoxicating pollen which causes adventurers to break out into sudden dance before delivering devastating bite attacks from their sharp fangs. Despite their names, the flowers have more in common with yellow daffodils than orchids. They are the first new addition to the man-eating flower family in 30 years.
