Description

The teardrinker appears to be little more than an ambulatory, fully open rose with slight humanoid limbs. Framed by petals, there are approximate facial features in its front-looking middle: oddly swollen cheeks and a perpetual grimace that bares conical pink teeth. This flowery fiend expels copious amounts of pollen with every peevish snort, a thin purple fog suffusing the air around it.

The teardrinkers are know to utter phrases, including:

"Thy fun isan affront against Be'ort,      

And so we shallcut your life short!"

The following song was also shared on Discord for the teardrinkers:

Roses are red, violets are blue

Flowers that drink tears, oh how strange they grew

Tears of sorrow, tears of pain

Drinking them in, never to wane

Petals soft, yet strong in might

Drinking tears day and night

From broken hearts, they heal and mend

A beauty that will never end

With each tear, a new bud blooms

Bringing hope and banishing glooms

A symbol of love, in its purest form

A flower that keeps us warm

So let the flowers drink your tears

For in their embrace, you'll find no fears

For with each drop, a new life starts

And a new chapter, in your heart.

Recall

Teardrinkers are of Be'ort. When a ritually sanctified rose soaks up influences arising out of divine pique, sometimes it is given life and agency to bring misery upon mortalkind. Much like their creator, teardrinkers have been known to bear truly venomous grudges.

They are known to cast Benediction, Soul Sickness, and Harm Evil.

They are not known to carry loot in locked boxes.

Death

When receiving a killing blow, rather than simply dying the teardrinkers explode:

As if the wee teardrinker had been a thing of pressurized air, its fragile body decompresses explosively and spectacularly before your eyes! A hailstorm of remnants -- rose petals and pollen, black sap and crystal thorns -- erupts in all directions. The detonation knocks you flat to the ground, and the hand you raised in defense becomes filled with petals.

(Leaves you with petals in hand, but having trouble finding the specific item from logs.)

Or:

As if the wee teardrinker had been a thing of pressurized air, its fragile body decompresses explosively and spectacularly before your eyes! A hailstorm of remnants -- rose petals and pollen, black sap and crystal thorns -- erupts in all directions. The detonation drenches you in sap, ruining your <worn item> with its stickiness! As the sap dries a little, it remarkably changes color.
