Black Tree

== Profile ==
Okay, here’s a Creepypasta monster I made, The Black Tree. Basically a thing that takes root in an isolated place where things are grown, whether it be an orchard; an underground drug greenhouse, or even a vacant lot or abandoned mansion overgrown with weeds.
Also, spoiler alert: It’s not a tree.
== Abilities ==
She takes root to grow her “children,” the Fleur Grudges, from such roots drawing from the lifeforms and the secrets and hidden grudges; hatreds and crimes of the area around her to shape their forms, with them working semi-independently to achieve some goal that may not be achievable in this part of reality without irreparably warping the fabric of the world; of space and time itself; into grotesque liminality, or sometimes warping the liminality of spaces that are already there…
The things pictured to the left are example designs of Fleur Grudges, in two colorations, attached to it by the roots.
Note that these are not the only designs, with there being enough possible permutations to make into their own bestiary, taking parts from sessile sealife, flowers, plant roots; and as mentioned before, the skeletons in a community’s closet.
But they all have in common the strange heads, trailing back to attack to the roots of their true mistress. Who can put up a pretty nasty fight when confronted herself by-the-by…
Oddly enough, plantlife actually increases in growth as it sucks… whatever it sucks from the ground, though it grows more mutated and mobile, sometimes malevolent but always dangerous.
== Characterization ==
What little is known about her personality can be summed up as thus: She hates you.
== Additional Info. ==
She may at times leave "seeds" when she leaves an area, looking like miniaturized versions of the "skulls" at her crown. Wherever they are planted, nothing natural ever grows again.
But plenty of things do still grow there. Just not natural ones.
== Author Commentary ==
This is the first of a few Creepypasta monster-designs I made with the goal of being specifically designed to be relatively simple to make a costume out of, with the base design being a Wiggletree puppet, with fake plastic-y costume-hair as the “leaves” and the “skulls” made of paper-mache or something similar.
Shoutout to @space-exeggutor, both for the fact we talked about the idea a while back, and this looks a whole lot like Exeggutor! You all should go check her out, she’s a great artist, and also inspired the Wandering Towers in my story that won @bogleech‘s Creepypasta Cookoff!
