==Powers and Stats==
Tier: 
Name: Young
Origin: Anodyne
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Classification: Formerly human
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Transformation (Able to transform into a giant plant creature), Plant Manipulation (Able to summon thick, thorny vines as a barrier or to attack), Temperature Manipulation (Can cast intense heat upon large areas, or turn them into glacial wastelands), Fire Manipulation and Ice Manipulation (Able to shoot large amounts of small fireballs or giant balls of ice), Energy Projection and minor Danmaku (Can fire multiple energy bullets at once), Empathic Manipulation, Corruption, Madness Manipulation and Fear Manipulation (One of his attacks releases Dust, which in Anodyne 2 is shown to be able to intensify emotions, including fear and induce madness, to the point of warping the bodies of those it affects), Attack Reflection (Can bat back his own ice balls if they are reflected), Resistance to Temperature Manipulation (Can stand in areas he's using his temperature powers on without any ill effects), Ice Manipulation and Fire Manipulation (Briar's body is immune to his own ice and fire attacks, with the exception of his fire and ice bulbs respectively, and even if they are hit by the opposite elemental attack, they will only temporarily be left open for attacking, and not be harmed by the elemental attack itself), Empathic Manipulation, Corruption, Madness Manipulation and Fear Manipulation (Seemingly immune to the effects of the Dust summoned by Young's attacks)
Attack Potency: City Block level (Caused an entire area to heat up to the point that gold began melting. Uses similar attacks in combat)
Speed: Immobile with likely Superhuman (Comparable to Young) combat speed
Lifting Strength: Superhuman (His transformed form should have this via sheer size. Able to shoot enormous balls of ice and bat them back)
Striking Strength: City Block level
Durability: City Block level (Even his weak points can survive several attacks from Young or even his own, and his transformed body is otherwise so durable that even those attacks have no effect)
Stamina: Athletic. Able to survive several hits to his weak points.
Range: Several meters via sheer size, hundreds of meters with temperature manipulation
Standard Equipment: None
Intelligence: Average.
Standard Tactics: Briar will alternate between spamming a combination of energy attacks and vine/thorns from underneath the enemy and using one of two elemental attacks. As he is weakened, his attacks will become more complex and difficult to dodge.
Weaknesses: The two bulbs that he uses for his elemental attacks are vulnerable to elemental attacks from the other bulb. If hurt, they'll reveal their core, which can be struck to deal significant damage to Briar. Once both bulbs are destroyed, he will be defeated.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Fire Attack: Briar uses his left, fire based "bulb" to summon a fire turret in the middle of the arena, which is filled up with Dust. The turret fires a stream of fire bullets at the enemy, and if they hit any mound of Dust it will explode, releasing more bullets. This explosion can be used to open Briar's right bulb, although it might be difficult to do so without resistances to Dust's effects. Sometimes, blue Dust that blocks the fire attack will instead be created.
* Ice Attack: Briar creates a large sphere of ice and shoots it at the enemy. It can be used to open up his left bulb if redirected against it.
* Energy/Vine Attack: Briar simultaneously summons thorns from the ground to attack the enemy and fires waves of energy bullets, creating a difficult pattern for the enemy to dodge,
