Yes, I am a kind of plant life.

Obvious question: are you the plant that dissolves and eats Roger? (Hmm ... scrumptious!)

The plant maze. One of the evillest and most cruel puzzles in SQ2. *shudder*

No.
New clue combined with original...

There's no speck of light
And you will see a thousand colors, maybe more
But this isn't right
Because if the above is what you see, you will need to restore.

I am indeed, some form of plant life
I will kill you, but not with teeth like a knife
I am not all that odd, but I am odd
You can see me in Quest for Glory, but that's not a nod.

*thinkthinkthink*

Are you the log that Roger has to move across a gap, so he can tie the rope to it and climb down? (This is where the beast is that can swat at Roger)

There's no speck of light ................................................................... nope, not if Roger goes the right way - to the caverns
And you will see a thousand colors, maybe more ...................................... Roger will see that if he falls ... BANG!
But this isn't right
Because if the above is what you see, you will need to restore ..................... yep! If Roger falls off the rope, he will need to restore.

I am not the log...

You will be on two feet
When we meet
But not for long
Because this is your end song.

Are you in the swamp?

If you mean these three screens:

3: https://sierrachest.com/gfx/games/SQ2/ss/029.png

Or even underwater (there's a cave there)

Then, no.

Side note, I was pretty sure me mentioning being seen in Quest for Glory would be a big hint for you.

To see what is sort of thing is in common between SQ and at least one of the Quest for Glory games.
(I say sort of ... because it's the same... but different, which is why I say in the clue "it's not a nod")

Are you the mushrooms?

I'm not sure what happens if you eat one, but maybe you experience some sort of psychedelic vision before you die. The "thousand colors" before you need to restore.
Mushrooms show up in QFG as an ingredient in the first one.
The only thing is that mushrooms aren't plants.

I am the mushrooms.

So - I googled when asked if they were plants.

Per google: Mushrooms aren't really plants, they are types of fungi that have a "plantlike" form - with a stem and cap (they have cell walls as well). This is really just the "flower or fruit" of the mushroom - the reproductive part which disperses the spores.

So - because these mushrooms are carnivorous (see below) - I didn't think they were really fungi and were probably closer to plants.
But I didn't want to say, "Unknown"


There's no speck of light - The Mushroom EATS Roger. When it does it says there's no specks of light.
And you will see a thousand colors, maybe more - As Roger dies, it says, you begin to experience a thousand colors.
But this isn't right
Because if the above is what you see, you will need to restore. - Clue about dying.

I am indeed, some form of plant life
I will kill you, but not with teeth like a knife - Again, plant was an assumption based on they're carnivorous (plants) like a Venus Fly Trap.
I am not all that odd, but I am odd - The odd is a clue to the fact there's three of them
You can see me in Quest for Glory, but that's not a nod. - As guessed, there's a mushroom ring in Quest for Glory

You will be on two feet
When we meet - This was a clue to say you wouldn't be on a log, rope, etc. You'd be standing.
But not for long
Because this is your end song. - Just another clue about death.

A watering hole
Has you shooting rocks for fun
"I don't give a darn!"

Are you the lake/body of water in Quest for Glory 1 (where the Codename: Iceman sub can be seen)?

I am not sure if that's considered a "watering hole" - but it is a hole with water...
Shooting rocks for fun, is skipping rocks across the water (which I think you can do?)
The I don't give a darn is the only thing that's throwing me.

*fires up QfG1; tries it out*

Nope, you can't skip the rocks across the lake. Nice try, though.

Are you in a game with the word "Quest" in the title? *crosses fingers*

Oh, maybe I am thinking of when he just throws rocks (when you don't specify the hermit's door). Totally thought you could skip rocks across the lake...

Yes

New clue:
I am not the slightest bit important to the game.
