The Ya-te-veo (“I can see you”) is a gigantic carnivorous plant that is rarely seen outside of travellers’ tales. Growing in tropical plains and jungles, the Ya-te-veo is dangerous to most creatures and beings that come across it and mistake its deadly vines for a simple shade tree. When the plant gets a response from tremors felt through its elongated root system, it lets its tendrils descend and ensnare the unlucky prey item, slowly digesting it with acidic enzymes excreted from the tentacle-like stalks erupting from its trunk. Few Ya-te-veo have ever been studied, but those druids that have had a chance to commune with them believe the plants are related to the small bog plant known as the sundew rather than the Venus fly trap.
