**Sprout** is a male plant parasite played by Sproutmage in CloverCraft Season 3. He is a small green plant that is able to invade the minds of those he infects and controls them.

## Appearance

Sprout's true form is that of a small green plant with two leaves and small green legs to move around. This form is the indicator that he is in control of another person, as they will have a plant sticking out of their head.

Sprout has had two bodies created for him to use as a way to not harm others. The first was created by Clark and Lotus, who created a very rudimentary body using a skeleton and several gallons of blood. His second body was a more refined creation, appearing as a small person with redish eyes, brown hair wearing a white shirt, green hoodie, black shorts, a black sock and a purple sock.

## Personality

Sprout was originally deceitful about his true identity due to his nature of being a parasite. Though after it was revealed, the denizens of the underground grew comfortable with him and even offered to help create him a body to survive in. After that, he become very carefree and helpful to any task that was needed.

He does seem to be fairly secretive still, often using different ingredients to improve his body so he will have fewer weaknesses to be taken advantage of.

## History

Not much is known about Sprout's history prior to the Apocalypse. However he did managed to find himself underground away from the Sun and unable get the nutrients needed to survive, so he began surviving off of the blood of others.

### The Underground

Sprout had eventually found the comatose body of Emrys Taylor through his travels underground. Seeing a vessel that he could inhabit, he quickly moved in. From there, Sprout acted as Emrys and familiarized himself with the other survivors, eventually revealing himself to Soobert, a scientist.

Once it was revealed that Sprout was a parasite, and also his weaknesses where clearly exposed, Sprout revealed his issues of needing to survive. Eventually the survivors created a body in which he could inhabit, with the pay off being to help them deal with Sandy. Sprout agreed, and through some upgrades to his body to allow him to survive entering Sandy's mind, they managed to neutralize Sandy's magic. Sprout then continued to assist the group against Bing Bong before leaving through the portal to the End with the others.

## Bases

Sprout inherited the Clown Town residence of Emrys Taylor after stealing their body, and continued to operate in it after getting his own.
