Plothook! turns out most magical plants, especially the hypnotic ones, were all offshoots of the chia seed (or crossbread with the chia to have an insane growth factor not found in wild variants) after being experimented on by a crazed druid. He was also, by happenstance, the first one to create a chia golem. And it appears that his exposure to the more mind-altering chia variants led to him having a mental breakdown (or being brainwashed, scholars hotly debate it) and spending the rest of his life crafting these golems to spread his malicious plants far and wide!

Ridiculous, but so much potential! Opening up the whole world of botanical variety can make this golem go anywhere. Anyway, my first thought was a floating, jellyfish-shaped chia golem with blossoming vines as tentacles: an aerial pollenizer seems like an efficient way for a druid to keep up a wide swath of vegetation. Honestly, I tend to think of food when I think of chia seeds...so that poison curse is pretty freaky: sprouts growing out straight from your gut does not sound like a good time 😅 I love it! The idea of that disease turning someone into a plant is probably the most interesting part though...I could see that making for a really interesting plothook with a healing druid obsessed with "purifying" everything into a plant-like state. They could cleanse covens, lycanthropes, or even just regular people with this illness to keep everything in line with the natural order. Anyway, thanks as always, DD! Looking forward to the next one 🫡 P.S. It's great hearing Doxy narrate the outro again!

This has gotta be the cutest version of a golem to exist. I’m definitely going to have my Druid make a tiny chia golem as a familiar/ pet

So you want some horror added to this little thing put in the plants from the movie The Ruin that have perfect mimicry and infect people killing em from inside and propagating that way. Would also make the disease that much worse as it perfectly represents it. Also personally wouldn't let restoration cure it and instead maybe delay it

I love the idea of a Chia Golem being a mobile den for twig blights. Like the source of a dangerous plague that was previously just a nuisance. A "burn humanity down except those who live in harmony with nature" type druid found a manual of clay golemcraft and decided to alter the design a bit.

Giant Hogweed sap is photosensitizing - as in, it causes horrible burns when exposed to sunlight. I suppose a regular sunlight would deal acid (?) damage. And if a character was dealt radiant damage after getting sap on their skin, I'm sure they'd be in a world of pain.

Don't forget that it's fast growing, grows up to 14 feet tall (reach weapon), and the sap can cause temporary blindness.

I have to give you credit, this is my favorite video that you have made. I love druids and this has so much potential. A forest could have a grove of druids that have made hundreds of golem of all sizes throughout the woods. Small box turtle chia golems could surround an encampment without raising attention and with a combination of different seeds they could be put to sleep all in the encampment. Then the druids can go walk through the camp and murder hobo everyone. Since they are slow, I would make an Ankylosaur version as a walking tank. Some GM's allow items to be applied to the golems, a +5 spiked mace at the end of the tail would make that wicked. If you make on big enough. Have a fea circle on the golem. The fea and the golem would work together and defend the forest. Mobile strike team.

Honestly, this is pretty cool. I might have these Golems have a form of true intelligence, animalistic though it may be. After all, my view on Warforged is that they are crafted from Wood and Stone, Wood for the spark of life and Stone for the enchantability. Chia Golems would be similar, with some quirks due to being made from living matter and shaped clay instead of carved wood and stone. The "Artificer Lich" idea from that one "liches for every class" series really ties in to that idea as well (part of the reason I really like that idea), where the bodies are crafted but hold a living part inside.

Absolutely a chia golem with oak trees growing out of it. Once it gets old enough the chia golem becomes a dryad as well, making a moving dryad golem combo which has an immense amount of potential. Imagine a traveling enclave of chia oak golems! That could be so cool, like a moving fey-like forest. I hope someone finds this and gets cool ideas with/ for it!

Perfect! My players are going to encounter a mysterious old green witch (a good type of witch) in a "wheelchair", who runs a magic pet store in feywild. Those babies will fit right in her store environment, as guards :)

I imagine either a story where a Druid used one of these golems to keep the last plant of their forrest alive and then look for a new place to restart. Either the plant can grow too big for the golem before they could replant it, so they had to make do. Or the golem is made in such a way so it’ll add earth to itself as the plant grow. While they still didn’t find a place either, the golem is now big enough to sustain its new forrest on its back. It wanders aimlessly around and grows bigger bit by bit, since the Druid who made it is long gone. It could also be a way for players to always have fresh vegetables and such on long adventures

I have two ideas for potentially really nasty plants: 1. A magically enhanced version of dwarf mistletoe, dwarf mistletoe berries BURST when they gain enough water or are stimulated by outside force, launching their seeds at around 50mph. I imagine this could either be a close range AOE to use once it pulled a few people in or a reaction against being attacked within 5ft. 2. The Dynamite tree/sandbox tree, which has poisonous spikes and fruit that explodes hard enough to shoot it's seed at 160mph.

I just want to say thank you my man. Discovering your videos has leveled up my dmming game. Especially seen as some of these monsters my friend who has been playing years hasn't even heard of. I really wish you could have been there when I used the false hydra you designed against the party. This video had leveled up my story dungion immediately as this monster fits comfortably in there XD so thank you again XD

LoL your new imagery for the Chia Golem is amazing. I really want an old wizard who lives in nature who has hundreds of these things as friends. He would obviously be constantly smoking a long Gandalf pipe full of “Herbs” and regularly talking to all his plants / chia golems.

Druid king with a giant Chia golem castle, but everyone thinks it's just a decorative choice. It could either be used to fight in endgame boss, or the king could be the big bad and it would be the end game battle ground where you have to work your way through rooms of plant soldiers and other trials

Esper the Bard created a demonic patch of mold for his Esper's Emporium of Esoterica book called the vicemold, which can cause a number of detrimental effects on its enemies, each effect based on one of the Seven Deadly Sins. I personally would LOVE to put one of those in a chia golem for added mobility.
