## Biography

Kuthosthelis is a small Venus flytrap-looking plant, who happens to be the guardian of the forests. Despite being referred to as a "he" throughout the series, Kuthosthelis stated that the guardians are actually genderless but simply sound or act in stereotypical manners. Its color is different from its two primary appearances in Multiverse. In one, it is green, the other, a pinkish red. The reasoning for this difference in color is not explained, but a theory is that the redder coloration is because the comic began in autumn instead of spring or summer (the season is never stated, though). Regardless of the color, Kuthosthelis has the same personality, having a manipulative nature, wishing to control its champion and destroy everything. To do this, it tries to tell the champion that the other guardians are evil and violent, seeking the destruction of the forest. While true that the others were fighting for the death of the Forest Guardian, they were doing this because otherwise the world will be destroyed.

## List of Known Powers and Abilities

The guardian has two known sets of powers and abilities, from its two primary appearances in Multiverse. Both appearance forms' powers and abilities will be listed here, where ones from the [series] will be marked with an asterisk, ones from the other series, [name], will be marked using a caret (^). Shared powers and abilities will not have any special marking. In addition to this, powers and abilities given to Kuthosthelis's champion will not be listed here, instead seek the links for [name] and [name]; only powers and abilities he has been shown using will be present. Finally, it should be noted that Kuthosthelis's complete list is unknown due to a lack of appearances.

* Plant manipulation
* Protist manipulation (Limited to photosynthetic protists)
* Fungi manipulation^
* Weapon generation\*
* Clothing disguising (Kuthosthelis can edit or even create clothing for its champion. This, unlike weapon generation, must be plant-based. In addition, it can edit its body to appear more flower-like to pose as an accessory)
* Nigh-indestructability (Even though it is attached to the champion, it can move locations on the champion's body and use this tactic to avoid getting hurt. If it is injured, it can regrow damaged parts rapidly as well)
* Power Shield\* (It generates a six-pointed star shield that will absorb the power of the attack taken until all six points are destroyed. After this, the champion is given a boost of speed and power based upon the power absorbed. Additionally, the shield can be manually destroyed to immediately activate the boost)
* Future Sight^ (It has the ability to see briefly into the future. The prediction is caused by the immediate future and is subject to change if actions are changed after seeing it)
