Needle Blight
In the shadows of a forest, needle blights might be taken at a distance for shuffling, hunched humanoids.
Up close, these creatures reveal themselves as horrid plants whose conifer-like needles grow across their bodies in quivering clumps.
A needle blight lashes out with these needles or launches them as an aerial assault that can punch through armor and flesh.
When needle blights detect a threat, they loose a pollen that the wind carries to other needle blights throughout the forest.
Alerted to their foes’ location, needle blights converge from all sides to drench their roots in blood.
