Needle blight

Needle blights were medium-sized blights spawned from a Gulthias tree.
==Description==
Needle blights looked enough like a hunched humanoid to be mistaken for one in the shadows of a forest, but a closer look made their plant-like nature obvious. Conifer-like needles grew in clumps across their bodies, and their gait was best described as shuffling.
==Behavior==
Needle blights, like the rest of their foul kin, were evil-hearted, malevolent creatures.
==Abilities==
Needle blights possessed blindsight only, and could understand Common but did not speak- as plants, they lacked eyes and a mouth. They were, however, capable of flinging the needles from their bodies as short-ranged projectiles.
When a needle blight detected a potential threat, it released a particular pollen into the air. This pollen carried to and was detected by other needle blights who, alerted to the location of the threat, would swarm in from all sides.
==Combat==
Needle blights attacked with their clawed hands and the needles that grew on them.
==Ecology==
Like most other blights, needle blights were found in forests.
Needle blights were known to inhabit the Quivering Forest as of the 15 century DR.
