Flash moss is a plant most often found in deep swamps, where light barely breaks through the canopy to reach the ground. Creatures can exploit the plant’s natural defense mechanism—a bright flash of light in the face of a threat—in a number of ways. If a creature is properly prepared, the flash of light can be used to illuminate the surroundings. Crafty creatures can use the moss to blind their opponents. The moss can be paired with another hazard, such as a pit or strangle vines, to blind a creature and make the creature more likely to fall victim to the second hazard.
