A patch of dark, oily purple brambles that react to vibrations by whipping toward living creatures with serrated, needle-like thorns.

Discovery

A character can notice the lack of insect life around the patch or the way the vines seem to twitch toward their shadow with a successful Perception check.

Archival Lore

Local woodcutters tell tales of 'Bloodthirsty Briars' that grow where the blood of a corrupted forest guardian was spilled. They are known to thrive in areas where the veil between the Material Plane and the First World is thin.
