An Assassin Vine is a semi-mobile plant that collects its own nutrients by capturing other creatures and depositing their remains near their roots. The main vine of a fully-grown plant is about 20ft in length and 5 inches in thickness, smaller vines shoot off from the main vine stem. The assassin vines fruit resembles that of wild grapes, but have tougher skins and are poisonous to human and larger mammals.

The Assassin vine entangles its prey if they happen to wander into the plant. The Assassin vine automatically reacts to constrict around the ensnared animal. The vine will constrict its victim to death.
