Infobox data from game version 2.0.207.72
| |
Scum-slick rubber trunk-rings wobble under a bouquet of wiggling, titan tongues. Map-like patterns decorate the spotty red and swollen organs, and a shower of saliva wets the encircling earth.
Tongue tyrants are rooted mutated plants belonging to the flowers faction. They can be found across the 
Palladium Reef or summoned via 
Burgeoning (plant tiers 8-9).[1]
Abilities
Sticky Tongue
Tongue tyrants are unable to move, but can use their Sticky Tongue mutation to pull creatures they are hostile to towards them.[2]
Engulfing
Tongue tyrants will attempt to engulf an adjacent target. The creature has an opportunity to make a Strength save (difficulty 30 + tyrant's Strength modifier) against being engulfed.[3]
Creatures engulfed by a tongue tyrant will be pulled onto and will inhabit the same tile as the tyrant, and will be unable to move; attempting to move in any direction will instead cause the creature to perform a melee attack against the tyrant. Additionally, the creature will be unable to perform certain physical actions, such as Charge, Jump, and Juke.[4] Engulfed creatures cannot be attacked by other creatures, and any attempting to do so will instead target the tongue tyrant.
An engulfed creature will suffer from bleeding for 
4-5 damage[2] each round. The creature can make a Toughness save (difficulty 20) each round to stop the bleeding, however, the bleeding will be reapplied once every three rounds for as long as the creature is still being engulfed.[5] The tyrant will otherwise be unable to attack the creature they are engulfing.
A tongue tyrant will continue to engulf its victim until either it or the victim dies, or it hands the victim off (see below). However, the victim can escape being engulfed prematurely through means such as 
Teleportation or becoming out-of-phase.
Hand Off
Tongue tyrants also have the unique ability to "hand off" the creature being engulfed to a random adjacent creature that is capable of engulfing. The creature being engulfed must make a Strength save (difficulty 30 + tyrant's Strength modifier) to resist being handed off. If the save fails, the target is moved to the adjacent creature's tile and becomes engulfed by that creature instead. Furthermore, an additional 5-6 bleeding damage for one turn is applied to the engulfed creature unless they successfully make a Toughness save (with a -5 penalty).[2][6]
