Slinck Weed is a Yavaun Critter unit in War Wind.
Background[]
With its chameleon-like ability to mimic local flora, the Plantae Vicionidea, or Slinck Weed hides in waiting for its victim to approach within its range of attack. With alarming alacrily and power, they lash out in an attempt to drag their prey down quickly. Due to their excellent camouflage skills, it is impossible to detect and attack them with ranged weapons, as they do not reveal themselves until it is too late.
Slink Weeds are mobile, predatory plants that can
completely conceal their presence from even an
observant individual. When potential victims pass
near a Slink Weed, the creature quickly uproots
and attacks with surprising power. Some believe
that Slink Weeds and Eaggra are somehow related species, though no concrete
evidence exists. When the Eaggra fought for independence from the Tha'Roon,
Eaggra mercenaries used to ride Slink Weeds into battle. But the creatures eventually proved
to be unstable mounts,
and are no longer used.
