Twig Blight

Twig Blight

 

Twig Blights can root in soil, which they do when living prey are scarce.While rooted, they resemble woody shrubs. When it pulls its roots free of the ground to move, a Twig Blights branches twist together to form a Humanoid-looking body with a head and limbs.

 

Twig Blights seek out campsites and watering holes, rooting there to set up ambushes for potential victims coming to drink or rest. Huddled together in groups, Twig Blights blend in with an area's natural vegetation or with piles of debris or firewood.

 

Given how dry they are, Twig Blights are particularly susceptible to fire.
