In the 18th century stories circulated of a tree in Java so poisonous that nothing could live within 15 miles of it. The poison was harvested by condemned criminals in leather hoods with glass eye-holes, and only one tenth of the harvesters returned. There is an upas tree in southeast Asia, but its poison is only dangerous when delivered by arrow. The exaggeration can be traced to a French Surgeon named Foersch who published an article in The London Magazine in December 1783. Lord Byron, Charlotte Bronte, and Charles Darwin’s grandfather all believed this account. It is unclear whether Foersch was sensationalistic or just gullible.

[Because sometimes you just need a giant poison tree.]
Upas This large tree has grayish bark, oblate leaves and small red fruits. Holes in its trunk appear stained, as if with some resinous chemical leaking from within.
The upas, sometimes called the poison tree or death tree, is a carnivorous plant that feeds itself on poisoned carcasses. It resembles an ordinary tree in nearly all respects, but its roots often extend upwards like the knees of spidery legs—which is how it walks when on the move. Its main way of killing its victims is by emitting a toxic vapor from holes in its bark—these leak greenish slime which evaporates on contact with the air and spreads in a wide cloud of deadly droplets. Creatures that survive the initial poisoning but are not quick to flee are beaten to a pulp by the upas’ mobile branches.
An upas frequently travels, making an ambling path through their forest homes in order to create new sources of dead bodies on which to feed. They feed slowly by absorbing nutrition through their roots, and these massacre sites may have the treasures of their victims. An upas is of a barely animal intelligence, and they are just sensible enough to flee from an opponent capable of resisting their poison and damaging them with fire or magical slashing weapons.
An upas stands up to 60 feet tall and grows to maturity rapidly, within 20 years of being planted. They can live for hundreds of years as poisonous predators. A slain upas tree’s resin can be used to create black lotus extract—removing the extract requires a DC 20 Craft (alchemy) check and extracts an additional dose for every 5 by which the DC is exceeded. Unless preserved using alchemical reagents worth 2,200 gp per dose, this extract loses its potency in 1 week.
