The umbral banyan, alternatively, the shadow banyan, is a type of carnivorous plant native only to the Shadow Rift and the Plane of Shadow. The shadow bunyan attacks its prey by using its dark tendrils to strangle them.[1] Details on this creature can be found within the Manual of the Planes (3.0), may be encountered in the Shadow Rift[2].

I don’t know what kind of plant this was, or hell if it was a plant at all! Let me tell you this: we were in the wild jungles of Sri Raji, traveling to the ruins of an observatory where we were to look on the walls at signs for the next eclipse. It was important for this astronomer who hired us. Anyway, this huge banyan tree suddenly started moving and it attacked us while we were traveling in this jungle. Its treacherous nooses took the astronomer and strangled him while lifting him from the ground. We used fire magick, a tell tale tool against plants, but the way it collapsed in the shadows and disappeared leaved us clueless about this thing. We came back the next day but didn’t find any trace of this banyan tree, or of the astronomer. It’s like it never been there at all…
