Venus Human Trap

The result of a kudzu flower bud, these enemies use vines to drag prey close to them for attack.

A carnivorious plant which uses vines to catch and ensnare prey. Spawns from kudzu flower buds. Each one has a maximum of four vines, which can be attached to a variety of things. Carbons are stunned when a vine is attached to them, and movable entities are pulled closer over time. Attempting to attach a vine to something with a vine already attached to it will pull all movable targets closer on command. Once the prey is in melee range, melee attacks from the venus human trap heals itself for 10% of its max health, assuming the target is alive. Akin to certain spiders, venus human traps can also be possessed and controlled by ghosts.
