## Description & Biology

**Tanglers** appears to be a semi human-plant, its body is almost sheeted with plants, and where there should be skin, there is wood, they have "tentacles" made of wood on its back and don't have a face, has vines on its body that can cut like knives. **Tanglers** are "elastic", while walking its legs stretch which makes this humanoid faster than a human, and when you least expect it, it is already on your back.

   **Tanglers** are creatures approximate 1.6 meters tall and they are thin being able to reach less than 20 centimeters long, **Tanglers** usually drinks water on the forest for being a plant-like humanoid, and if it doesn't drink water for a long time it'll probably die with dehydration and will decompose with time serving as food for Angelic Moths and sometimes, it might turn into a tree with the time that as incredible as it may be seen, is helping with the oxygen of Uracene! **Tanglers** don't like humans even if they were a human before their transformation. As Angelic Moths, some of the **Tanglers** weren't human and they were born that way even if they were a human before, they lose their humanity, and they have just the desire to kill everything and everyone on its way, including Mutants.

H.S.G.'s scientists believe that **Non-Human Tanglers** originated with plants starting to eat the bones of dead people and then took the leg and spin part and made a roughly human shape and after, joined with tree branches. The **Human Tanglers** is caused by the Tangling Disease, a disease fast and painful that will turn you into this monster. **Tanglers** grunt when trying to find the Prey as if it was angry, the grunt is similar to a "monster", there's no explication on how can it even do this since this plantling does not have a face, therefore it does not have a "mouth".

## Behavior

**Tanglers** are always aggressive with any kind of life, including Mutants, its nature is to live in the forest drinking water every time, for being a plant-like humanoids. **Tanglers** attack their prey with their tentacles, hanging the prey until the last breath of her, **Tanglers** can also attack their prey with the vines, grabbing and drilling her until she dies, some escape, and others can't, humans usually die at once due of their fragile body and to the lack of blood in the body since the vines seem to drain the blood of the prey.

**Tanglers** do not feed on the prey and kill for "fun" or for something that H.S.G. didn't discover yet. **Tanglers** always dispute with Sewer Striders for water, at the end, who ends up winning is Sewer Striders for the fact of its body is much less fragile than **Tanglers** and the difference in strength in either, apparently any attacks of **Tanglers** doesn't have any effect on Sewer Striders. **Tanglers** doesn't have a face, ie they can't see, but listen they can very well, then don't try to do any movements when you are close to it, don't even try to move or else you will face death. Crouching is the best way to lose him. Run of **Tangler** is futile, not to mention that it is faster than you, he can grab you with its vines instead.

## Exact Location

**Tanglers** are creatures that usually live in the amazon rainforest, in the countries: **Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, Ecuador, and French Guiana** close to the forest, but they occasionally get out of there to try to turn other places into a forest. They can also inhabit another forest in entire South America.

**Tanglers** can be encountered traveling in South America looking for another forest to live in, they can be encountered in places such as Forest, destroyed cities, lakes, abandoned constructions, and among other countries in South America. Already had rumors of Mutant 021 being seen in Cuba dying, and turning into a tree, although is only a rumor.

## Note from Lotus Rill.

**I want to understand why things ended up this way, look what we have here, a plant-like humanoid? I discovered that when they die, they can turn into trees or serve as food to the Angelic Moths. It has a wood tentacle and vines, that kill us all at once. Are they trying to bring our end? But... For some reason, they turn into a tree when they face death, why? They run like leopards even if it is a plant-like humanoid, it's elastic, do they were humans before..? We'll study to find out what it is. Stay safe, secure, and happy**
