Since the parent tree leeches the soil around it of all nutrients, the swarm’s first meal is usually a small animal of some sort. The saplings quickly gather together into a broodswarm and begin hunting in the vicinity of their parent tree for their first meal.

After a week, the nuts fall off and crack open, each one releasing a tiny twig sapling. The nuts are highly toxic and if eaten, they act as a slightly more potent version of the twig blight’s venom (DC 12 Fort save, initial damage 1 Str, secondary damage nausea for 1 hour).
The sapling quickly reaches maturity within the space of a month by drawing forth all the nutrients in the soil around it, often causing other plants nearby to wither and die.Īfter reaching maturity, small nuts begin growing from the sapling’s branches. During the spring season the next year, a small sapling quickly begins growing from that seed. Twig horrors reproduce by planting large seeds within the soil once every year during the autumn season.
Only twig horrors and twig lords can reproduce. Twig sapling broodswarms are twig blight young.

Skills: A twig blight gains skills as a Fey. Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 11, initial damage 1 Str, secondary none. While they may not truly understand how vulnerable to fire they may be, they do have an instinctive fear of it. Twig blights usually stay away from any fire-wielding creatures. They usually attack in swarms, attempting to overwhelm one creature at a time before moving onto the next. Twig blights are very rarely encountered alone. A DC 15 Knowledge (Nature) check is required to identify the twig blight as ‘not a normal shrub.’ A DC 20 check identifies it as a twig blight in the process of its transformation.Ī twig blight stands about 3 ½ feet tall and weighs only 15 pounds. The transformation usually takes a year and the twig blight resembles a small shrub during this time. Twig blights that live underground must subsist entirely upon blood, since it gets no sunlight for its photosynthesis.Ī twig blight that advances to 7 Hit Dice immediately finds a place to take root and slowly it begins the transformation into a twig horror. Twig blights can root themselves into normal soil and draw nutrients as a normal plant would, however they have a strong taste for blood that often forces them to waylay living creatures. Twig blights are devious, tree-like creatures created by the Gulthias tree, which sprouted from a stake that was used to slay an ancient vampire. A pair of red eyes glow from within its airy frame. Two arms jut from its stunted, wooden body, each one ending in a three-fingered claw.
