Plants
Whoever owned the house before Mum and Dad did not take the best care of the garden - it’s quite overgrown, and Mum and Dad haven’t had a chance to tame it all yet. The plants are territorial, and have various different types of defences/attacks.
What they want:
‘Want’ is a kind of strange concept - the plants are not sentient, but they are driven by biology to a) be very territorial over the garden space and b) try and expand and grow their territory What they do: ‘Defend’ the garden, be passive or active threats to anybody exploring the garden for useful resources, maybe in the future be a threat in the conservatory (they do seem interested in the windows somehow, wort keeping an eye on)
How to stop them:
Fire? But generally slashing and attacking will deal with any immediate threats, and avoiding dangerous areas will avoid the threat entirely.
