What is a poison creeper?
Dude whos poisoned and is a peeping tom!
no im being serious, only real lore poeple okay. i want to understand what they are and how powerful they are and if there are any in the lore for stories and legends.
They are sentient plants. How they become sentient, is not stated, or more like I haven’t found anything specific. Yet.
You ever seen the movie Tremors?
Ort Sol in 2os helm?
Ive actually watch all the lore and read all the lore about how the game actually started with Anu and all that and how the Nephalem(Diablo players) came to be from Lilith freeing Inarius the angel from a imprisonment in hell and why some of the angels wanted to destroy human kind, and how Malthael was in fact not a corrupted angel,just looks the way he does for a reason and everything that goes on for pages basically.But it never really goes into small detail about stuff like this
I would assume it’s just the druids attunement to nature the plant itself is just a normal poisonous plant with it’s roots following the player
it’s a sad factamundo
It’s probably based on Celtic mythos relating to druids which means all plants have souls and for gameplay reasons you only get a poison creeper and not 5,192 species of plants.
In the old manual, it’s stated Nature and the world bless the Druid’s as they’re able to attune with it and speak in it’s language (it’s been touched on they’re able to speak out in their own tongue to ask help from the world and given companions, such as spirits, wolves and bears). It’s not hard to come to the conclusion that the sentient vine is one such gift of a Druid seeking help from the world and the world responding.
This is exactly why in lore, Druids are the most powerful Magi, much like their cousins, the Barbarians, being the most powerful warriors. No one was ever really able to pierce the Druid’s defenses of their homeland and lived to tell the tale.
EDIT: it’s also most likely Druids and Barbarians are the closest relatives to Nephalem in terms of human standards, as their prowess is considered otherworldly to most people (ironic).
