When the rose dies, it explodes in a burst of necrotic energy. Each creature within 20 feet of the rose must make a DC 13  Dexterity  saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature killed by this damage rises as a sanguine rose within 7 days, unless its body is cremated or buried in consecrated ground. \n'b'  Seductive Scent . The rose constantly emits a potent and alluring magical perfume to put its prey off guard. A creature that starts its turn within 60 feet of the rose must make a DC 13  Wisdom  saving throw. On a failure, attacks against the creature are made with advantage until the start of the creature\xe2\x80\x99s next turn. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 1 hour. Creatures that don\xe2\x80\x99t breathe automatically succeed on the save. \n'b'\n'b' ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Multiattack . The rose makes two vine attacks. It can replace one  attack  with Blood Drain. \n'b'  Vine .  Melee Weapon Attack : +5 to hit, reach 15 ft., one creature.  Hit : 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage, and the target is  grappled  (escape DC 13). \n'b'  Blood Drain . The rose laps up the blood of one creature it is grappling. The creature takes 7 (2d6) slashing damage, and the rose gains the same number of  temporary hit points . The creature is also  poisoned  until it regains at least 1 hit point. \n'b'  Swallow .  Melee Weapon Attack : +5 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target  grappled  by the rose.  Hit : The target is swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the target is  blinded  and  restrained , it has total  cover  against attacks and other effects outside the rose, and it takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning plus 3 (1d6) piercing damage at the start of each of the rose\xe2\x80\x99s turns. A rose can have only one creature swallowed at a time. If the rose takes 10 damage or more on a single turn from the swallowed creature, or if the rose dies, the rose regurgitates the creature, which falls  prone  in a space within 10 feet of it. \n'b'\n'b' ABOUT \n'b' Created by  vampires  and planted in their dour garden spaces, sanguine roses are slow-moving plants fertilized with the remains of victims who perished before the vampire could finish drinking their blood. The few remaining drops of blood in such fertilizer are enough to give this eerie flower its crimson hue-or so the stories go. Whatever the case, sanguine roses combine the sturdy physiology and classical beauty of a rose bush with the unnatural and evil powers of undeath, making them terribly potent guardians of vampiric estates. \n'b' Usually planted in gardens or along exterior walls amid mundane plants that serve as camouflage, sanguine roses attack any living creatures that draw near in order to soak the soil around them with fresh blood. Like true roses, sanguine roses emit a pleasant aroma, but the odor of these monstrous plants is far more potent than any mundane flower. They draw humanoids and animals toward them using this seductive scent, then explode into a frenzy of thorny attacks. \n'b' A sanguine rose can easily be identified by its unnaturally dusky leaves and vines, which make its bright red flowers and inch-long thorns stand out all the more. Regardless of their telltale features, countless animals and humanoids fall prey to sanguine roses since knowledge of these wretched plants is a well-kept secret among vampires and other cunning undead. \n'b' Several varieties of sanguine rose exist, including the much rarer grave lily, which supposedly feasts upon undead creatures rather than the living. Particularly ancient specimens of either variety have been known to gain a modest level of intelligence, and with it, foul primal magical powers such as  cloudkill  or  blight . \n'b' Sanguine roses and their varieties can be created with the  create undead  spell as if they were wights. \n'b' Sanguine roses are particularly popular among evil druids and their ilk.'
