Attack Salad

Description
Most of the gnomes of the Wallingmiotta were vegetarians. Thus, a popular dish served by many of the gnomish families was a collection of garden vegetables called a "salad." Unfortunately, when you lived in a magical forest, sometimes the greens you picked are tainted with magic. Often, this ambient magic resulted in nothing more than a slight magic aura. Other times, it might have turn the eater a harmless shade of blue or green. But there were times when the salads themselves gained self-awareness and became the notorious attack salads.

While aware of their own existence, attack salads were by no means intelligent creatures. Like a newborn toothy wuhlos, the attack salad lashed out at its perceived "captors" thrusting with lettuce-wrap bites and thrown tomatoes until it was free to leap from its creator's table and escape. Unfortunately, most attack salads failed to realize that often the only thing holding them together was the bowl in which they were tossed. As such, the moment they achieve liberty was also the same moment that they perish, a disparate collection of leafy greens covering the earthen floor of a gnome kitchen. Rest in peace, gentle greens.

Attack salad occurrences tended to be somewhat random. However, in 999 AT there was an outbreak of cursed spinach that found its way into a few hundred salad bowls during a gnomish harvest festival. All at once the salads gained sentience and attacked the festival-goers. Gnomish historians refer to the event as The First War of the Tossed Ones. While there were no casualties on the gnomes' side, it was an embarrassing mark on an otherwise peaceful existence for the forest dwellers. After all, it was the third largest war the gnomes had ever experienced.
