Sham Alraune

A humanoid shaped monster, with the ability to physically control other creatures using its unique parasitic pollen spores which it scatters around the air. This monster is extremely cunning and protective of its lair, because it would do anything needed in order to protect itself. A creature controlled by its pollen spores grows a flower on its head to signify the effect, while simultaneously losing control of their own body, though they are conscious of their uncontrolled actions, and retain all of their memories.
