Needle Blight

Needle Blight

In the shadows of a forest, Needle Blights might be taken at a distance for shuffling, hunched Humanoids.Up close, these creatures reveal themselves as horrid plants whose conifer-like needles grow across their bodies in quivering clumps. A Needle Blight lashes out with these needles or launches them as an aerial assault that can punch through armour and flesh.

When Needle Blights detect a threat, they loose a pollen that the wind carries to other Needle Blights throughout the forest. Alerted to their foe's location, Needle Blights converge from all sides to drench their roots in blood.
