Corruption
If a wolf can survive the poisonous pollen, it can make a Con saving throw. If passed, the wolf must make a Wis saving throw or become human.
In the case that the wolf chooses to take the Wis save, they are corrupted and suffer one level of exhaustion. Each failed save gives them one level of exhaustion and take
1d10 psychic damage every time exhaustion decreases until cured.

Oh dang, a sentient plant that kills people (well wolves but y'know). At least most plants in DnD don't move this fast, jeez. So the character just straight dies if it rolls bad on the Vine Slash table?
Yup. I kinda wanted an OP plant that makes players (i.e. my characters) use stealth and pray they don't screw up. It also makes wolves avoid certain places that make great camping grounds for their other enemies.
