Ranged 2. Area 4.
Spear Cacti grow as dense thickets of grey-green branches without leaves, which cling to rocky slopes and elevated areas. The Cactus is covered in thick bundles of spear-like thorns, many as long as a Keldian's forearm. These thorns are so sharp that anything attempting to eat, cut, or push through the Cactus suffers D6 damage a round automatically. When threatened the Cacti can launch these thorns in a deadly shower that covers an area around and below the plant with a storm of needles. A single bush can only release a limited number of showers (2D4) before they run out, and will require a few days to recover, but a thicket has essentially unlimited attacks. Fire can clear a patch of Spear Cactus, but they will all launch their needles at once when lit, creating a storm of burning needles that can spread the fire and will hit anyone in the area for d8 damage (Agility vs. 15 for half).
