Bad Seeds are made by evil magicians and the like out to undermind Good Azulina and the rightful order of the Land of Azurth. They are made from combination of a Green Man root, a moonless night, and an unwholesome ritual whose full details are regrettably quite easy to find in magical tomes. Depending on certain details of the rite and the place of planting, different types of Bad Seed are cultivated.
Twig Bad Seeds have the form of crude stick dolls or effigies. They wait at the side of lonely woodland trails or guard the abodes of witches in haphazard clusters. You must be very cunning and quick to see them move before they strike. There are stores of giant twig seeds that stride through the forest like wicker giants and throw victims in the cages of their chest.
Thorn Bad Seeds can stand upright if they wish, but mostly they roll like bramble bush tumbleweeds making rasping noises like the growl of a dog. The spilling of blood greatly excites them. They seem to be able to taste it on the air.
Vine Bad Seeds usually take the form of slithery masses and like to hide in dark places. Other than the susurrus of their movement, they make no other sound. They will often stalk prey, stealing small items and causing confusion before finally striking.
Bad Seeds are statted like the comparable Blight in the Monster Manual.
Not a Bad Seed, but another plant creature: a Heap as rendered by David Lewis Johnson:

This is odd. In dashboard I'm able to read some of you text, but once I'm in your page, none of the text shows. Just the images.
Fixed it. :)
I like the image of a hapless soul being trapped within a wicker prison that is a massive twig blight's chest. Back in 3.5 days I got a kick out of fireballing twig blights. Those little so and so's were such a plague when we were low level. It was nice to rain fire down on their dumb little heads in revenge once our PCs were more competent.
