### Cost

N/A

**Forest Hunter** is an A-Tier Costume for the Gamekeeper, Bane Perez. It was introduced in Season 3 Essence 1.

## Appearance

### **Physical**

When equipped, Bane's body is replaced by dark brown wood, covered in bark and moss. His usual deer head now resembles a bovine, with a short snout, large nostrils, and long wooden horns arched backwards, with small branches and leaves growing on them. He has small glowing green eyes, and long green floral hair with thorns and reddish tips.

Bane's torso is made up of gnarled bark, with a glowing aqua light emitted through the cracks. His wooden arms and legs are covered in moss and vines, and his feet resemble those of a feline.

### **Outfit**

Bane's snout is held shut by a leather strip and metal ring, acting as a muzzle. His shoulders are protected by thick light brown bark covered in moss, while on his back hangs a cloak made out of large green leaves. Around his waist is a brown cloth, with green thorny branches tied around it, and bark bracers on his hands, with white claws tied to the knuckles.

### **Weapon**

Bane's fish skeleton hook is replaced by a large wooden grappling hook made up by intertwined branches, partially covered in moss and with a thick green vine tied to its end.

### **Special Effects**

The fissures in his torso, his hook and his eyes emit a bright aqua colored light, glowing faintly. Bane also leaves behind a trail of small glowing orbs when walking.

## Trivia

* The costume and its appearance are seemingly inspired by Treants, mythological creatures made of wood and floral components, resembling trees or plants, who inhabit forests and act as their protectors.
* The cloak of this costume can be seen hanging from a hook on the wall in the hunter's cabin on Darkwoods.
