Flaming Seedpod Regrowth. Has four Flaming Seedpods. Used Flaming Seedpods may regrow each turn. If podthrower starts its turn with less than four Flaming Seedpods roll a d6. On a roll of 5 or 6 it regrows 1d4 Flaming Seedpods to a max of 4.
Regeneration. Regains 10 hp at the start of its turn. If it takes necrotic or if it is grappled and removed from the ground this trait doesn't function at start of its next turn. It dies only if it starts its turn with 0 hp and doesn't regenerate.
