While the carnivorous sod remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal patch of grass. \n'b'  Spell Eater . If the carnivorous sod is in an area targeted by a spell that enhances plants in that area, such as the  entangle ,  plant growth , and  spike growth  spells, the carnivorous sod absorbs the spell, ending it, and gains 10  temporary hp  for each level of the spell it absorbed for 1 hour. \n'b'  Tripping Grass .

The carnivorous sod is a plant monster that disguises itself as a simple patch of grass until it is stepped on. It then uses its grass-like tendrils to trip a creature before biting with its vicious jaws. Carnivorous sods typically prey on small herbivores, such as deer and rabbits, that come to graze on their backs, but they have been known to attack just about anything that treads on them as long as the target is Medium or smaller. Sometimes dozens of carnivorous sods gather together to hunt, though this is due more to happenstance than planning on the part of the monsters. \n'b'  Links to the Fey . Carnivorous sods begin their lives when a fey creature such as a pixie or sprite enchants or simply lays on a patch of grass; the grass soon animates as a plant creature called a stray sod. Stray sods are cultivated by fey to protect their dwellings and fey rings. Eventually, should a stray sod survive for more than a year and be fed a drop of blood, or have blood accidentally spilled on it, it transforms into a carnivorous sod.\xc2\xa0Once a carnivorous sod is born, it can reproduce naturally through budding, a process which can quickly infest an area with these dangerous creatures. \n'b'  Keep Off the Turf . Grassland-dwelling humanoids like gnolls and  nkosi  sometimes use carnivorous sods to guard their dwellings and encampments, keeping the sods moving along specific paths with the use of fences and trenches. Druids also use carnivorous sods as guardians, casting spells like  plant growth  on them to make them into formidable foes for any trespasser. Most notably, a  treant  may keep a carnivorous sod as a beloved pet.'
