Sargassum Heap

Source Monster Core pg. 295
A sargassum heap is a mass of semi-intelligent seaweed that floats through the ocean, luring in its victims with hallucinogenic spores. Those affected by the spores are drawn towards the heap, envisioning their heart's desire. This might be a lost loved one, a child in need of help, an enchanting mermaid, the promise of dry land, and so on. Once their prey is close enough, the sargassum heap lashes out with its seaweed tendrils and crushes it to death.

Sidebar - Treasure and Rewards Sargassum Bulbs

The sargassum heap is littered with spore-producing bulbs. These are what releases its hallucinogenic spores. Many collectors or crafters of strange magical and alchemical concoctions take interest in these bulbs whenever they are properly harvested. A properly harvested bulb may last up to a month in good conditions, while an improperly harvested bulb will wilt within hours of the harvest.
