Decaying Root

Decaying Roots are a type of Demon only encounter in Gluttony, where they can be found wandering all across the Circle.
== Creation ==
Decaying Roots are formed from the same roots created by Nymphs that serve as a vein to collect more blood for Yggdrasil, the Demonic World Tree. The root becomes sentient upon coming into contact with Nidhogg's blood, which reanimates them into a tree-like demon that disconnects itself from the root without interrupting the flow of blood. From there on, like the Nymphs, the Roots become connected to Yggdrasil, and seek out fresh corpses to extract their blood and bring it back to deposits to further fuel the tree.
== Behavior ==
Decaying Roots tend to ignore living beings for dead ones, though they will defend themselves if nessesary. The creatures move in a slow lumber due to their chaotic build and often weight distribution. While lacking in speed, they can call upon roots or stretch their own limbs in order to reach for prey. The roots can also be sharpened into stabbing weapons, as the roots themselves are much tougher than ordinary tree roots. But for the most part, they will endlessly search for dead bodies while ignoring living Demons and human souls trapped in Gluttony.
