Plant Creatures Volume 2

== Twig Blight ==
Threat Rank D (Local Threat)
Twig Blights are the smallest of Blights, resembling short humanoids composed entirely of gnarled roots. Twig Blights are also the most independent of Blights, and while they are usually under the influence of a Gulthias Tree this is not always the case. They are capable of repopulating independently of the tree, and when not under one's control are a neutral creature that only seeks to hunt small prey like rodents, and reproduce.
Twig Blights under the control of a Gulthias Tree are much more dangerous, often attacking in large groups to overwhelm individuals and kill them. They are intelligent enough to eavesdrop for the Tree, and will seek to reproduce in secret to grow their numbers exponentially. The wood composing these creatures is incredibly dry however, making them very flammable.
== Thorn Blight ==
Threat Rank D (Local Threat)
Thorn Blights are larger humanoid Blights resembling men in wooden armor. This bark plating is coated in long thorns, giving them their name. These thorns are tipped with a sappy secretion that acts as a paralytic, rapidly numbing an individual when pricked. What's more, these thorns can be propelled from the body by the Thorn Blight at high speeds, albeit with a fairly short range. They are capable of doing this even after death, and the head must be decapitated in order to prevent this response.
Like their smaller kin, they are very flammable, however their more dense bark skin makes them difficult to slay. Thorn Blights and other Blights besides the Twig Blight are always under the influence of a Gulthias Tree, and if their tree dies they will go berserk and simply seek to mindlessly kill until they are defeated. This loss of a higher intelligence to guide them does make them significantly less dangerous however, and they usually end up getting themselves killed sooner rather than later.
== Vine Blight ==
Threat Rank C (Regional Threat)
Vine Blights are a creation of a Gulthias Tree. They require a seedling to be planted that will grow over the course of 2-3 days. Their growth speed is increased based on the amount of light they are exposed to. Their long vines are full of highly corrosive acid that can melt through several types of materials. Vine Blights are immune to acid unlike most plant creatures but they are extremely flammable. It is currently unknown if Vine Blights can exist or function without a Gulthias Tree.
Bark Blight
Threat Rank C (Regional Threat)
Bark Blight is a type of blight created by a Gulthias Tree from the bodies of humanoids. They inject a parasite via their pointed arms into their living victims. After a day-long process the parasite will embed itself inside and have fully turned the host. Shortly after its sturdy bark like armor and pieces will start to form.
== Sap Blight ==
Threat Rank D (Local Threat)
Sap Blights are the creation of a Gulthias Tree. They come from its thick sap but given life through magical means. The sap will slow enemies around it to the point they can't move if enough is covering them. The sap blight also have the ability to heal nearby blights at a quick pace.
== Kelpie ==
Threat Rank D (Local Threat)
A kelpie is a creature that resembles a mass of seaweed. It can alter its form to appear as a woman, sea horse, or a green horse, and then charm a person into thinking it is in trouble and needs rescuing. Upon the person attempting to rescue it, the kelpie grapples the victim and holds them in the water until they drown. Kelpie will seek to entangle their prey in combat, but they are very vulnerable to acid and slashing attacks. They are resistant to flames and are immune to poisons and mental attacks.
