Giant Miranda Sprout

This enemy summons pillars of light in large AoE from the sky. Better fought at a distance to avoid clouds of toxic pollen. They deal Strike Damage. Magic Giant Mirandas release a myriad of homing magic projectiles that seek out enemies, similar to Star Shower, dealing Magic Damage. Any fire damage dealt to the plant sets it aflame and negates the clouds: they get dissipated if present and the plant cannot release them for the duration of the burning animation. Flame duration can't be reset, however burn can be applied again after it wears off. Fire source does not set sprout aflame, if it breaks their poise. They can slam their flower bud against the ground aside them if the player gets too close. The Frenzied Giant Mirandas will violently flail themselves around in an attempt to put out the fire. There are several variants, but in general their most prominent weaknesses are Slash-type Physical damage, Fire, and Frostbite. Keep in mind that fire damage will cure active frostbite (can be followed by more frostbite). They are susceptible to Sleep as well. Strong against Strike damage, Lightning, and Holy. They can be poise-broken, but the window to riposte is very slim, as they recover quickly. Riposte after poise break is done to the bloom, unlike riposte to the sleeping flower which is done to the stalk. An unused item found in the game's code, called Miranda's Prayer, allows the player to use the pillars of light move that the flowers use.
