In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, plant is a type of creature, or "creature type". Plant creatures are any type of creature composed of vegetable material which is not merely an ordinary plant. Most are non-intelligent, like normal plants, but some are intelligent. Some plant creatures are able to move on their own, and some are carnivorous.

All plant creatures have low-light vision. Plant creatures have a wide array of immunities, including being immune to: all mind-affecting effects, poison, sleep effects, paralysis, polymorph, and stunning. They are also not subject to critical hits.
