Twilight Chamomile (5e Hazard)

This beautiful flower only blooms when creatures are near. If a creature notices the flower, they must make a DC 12 Charisma saving throw or become charmed by the flower. A creature charmed by the flower walks steadily closer, and will attack anything in their way to reach the flower. If a creature reaches the flower, it will lean in to smell the flower. The flower is surrounded by a small cloud of spores. If a creature breathes in these spores, it is polymorphed into an animal. Roll a D8 on the following table to decide its form. The creature is now suffering mass amnesia, and does not remember its past life. The polymorph can be cured by a lesser restoration spell or any other effect that dispels or restores in some way, cast with level 2 or higher. The transformation and amnesia end on their own after about one hour or if the affected creature is more than a mile away from the flower.

D8 Creature. 1, Black Cat. 2, Black Bird. 3, Black Dog. 4, Black Lizard. 5, Black Mouse. 6, Black Pony. 7, Black Scorpion. 8, Black Cow.

Sometimes is planted by sprites or other little folk or fey to protect their territory. Can be harvested for use in multiple ways. If a creature is not charmed by the flower, they can pick the flower. If they try, they must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they are polymorphic by the flower as if they breathed in the spores. Once the flower is picked, their are a few uses. A creature who ingests the flower is polymorphed into a creature from the table. This polymorph lasts D10 minutes. The creature keeps their mind when transformed. Also, the flower can be liquified to create a potion of polymorph, and its petals, when eaten, make the eater, for the duration of one hour, charmed by the next creature they see.

Fey creatures are unaffected by this flowers spores, and can succeed on the check to pick the flower immediately.
