Whenever a creature is reduced to 0 hp within 60 feet of the execrable shrub, the shrub regains 5 (1d10) hp.

Like Calls to Like.

The execrable shrub knows if a creature within 60 feet of it is evil-aligned or not.

Limited Telepathy.

Using telepathy, the execrable shrub can magically communicate with any other evil-aligned creature within 100 feet of it. This communication is primarily through images and emotions rather than actual words.
