Ensnare When the gourd leshy damages a creature with a fist or seed Strike, vines lash out from the leshy (or seed) and wrap around the target’s limbs. The target must attempt a DC 17 Reflex save. On a failure, the target takes a -10-foot status penalty to its Speed for 1 round; on a critical failure, the target is immobilized for 1 round and the penalty to Speed lasts for 1 minute.

Gourd leshys are guardians of fields, gardens, and farms. Many villages benefit from the protection of a gourd leshy, even if they are unaware of it.

When a leshy dies, its body explodes in a wave of vegetation as its spirit returns to the natural world. Though leshy spirits that are called into new bodies after death typically keep only vague recollections of their pasts, they retain many of the values and habits of their former life.
