Description
A twig blight is an awakened plant that resembles a woody shrub that can pull its roots free of the ground. Its branches twist together to form a humanoid-looking body with a head and limbs.
An evil baby Groot.
LOL when you put it that way these sound much more terrifying.
I made a Homebrew race from them. The mechanics are pretty cool.
Is your homebrew on the site? I love plant PC races

I'm trying to incorporate these in a side quest. Pack of gnolls sacrifice has caused a runoff of animal decay to enter the forest river. The nature of the blood and inherent iron contamination is absorbed into the surrounding soil manifesting treeblight. The deeper the players go into the forest, the more signs of blight and danger grow.
That’s perfect.
In the "deep lore,” blights have a distant connection to vampires, so being awakened by blood really makes sense.
I am doing the same thing thing as well but I am going to have them be a swarm due to the influence of a Cult of Moander. Hopefully my party does well against them and Preist and corrupted Dryad in his ranks.
im trying to get one as a little adorable friend
my level one party I DMed fought 7 of these. The fighter got knocked out in the first round.
Level 3 part 37 of them. tpk
i would love to see that
Nice Idea.
It will be fun. thx.
GOD I WISH I COULD UPVOTE THIS
Does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not a twig blight would be able to hold a weapon, such as a staff?
Just curious! Thank you for your input.
They're listed as "Small". Small, in the Basic Rules, is listed as "5 by 5 ft.", but "Medium" is also listed as "5 by 5 ft.", so I'm not sure how that works.
Gnomes are listed as only being 3 to 4 feet tall, which is classified on their page as "Small" and they can use weapons. I see no reason why they couldn't.

FungleWig - (Self Declared "King of the Sacred Valley")
Altered Twig Blight - Large
--------------------------------------------
Description:
Funglewig stands almost 10 feet high, he is an awakened plant that resembles a woody shrub, with roots pulled from the ground to form legs and feet. His branches twist together to form a humanoid looking body. He has ominous dark voids for eyes. And a jagged broken bark mouth.
--------------------------------------------
Common Knowledge:
Funglewig is known to the people of Avon and to many it seems in the Sacred Valley. Funglewig was a companion to the venerable Gnomish Ranger Kadu. After embarrassing Kadu over the course of several years by repeatedly messing up simple errands upsetting most of Avon. Kadu started to feed Tallow Wood Juice to Kadu. The juice was known to Kadu for its intellect enhancing properties on awoken plants. Unfortunately it also brought two unexpected side effects, it started to grow Funglewig dramatically from his 3.5 foot stature (ending up 10' tall) and worse it gave Funglewig extreme paranoia. He started accusing Kadu of crazy things like: Trying to prune him in his sleep, watering down the Tallow Wood juice to weeken him, Accused Kadu of standing between him and the sunlight so he couldnt grow, slipping vine muching beetles into his hair when his back was turned. Placing curses on me under his breath, and plotting with the pixes to bind him.
Funglewig now greatly enhance with superior intellect and much enhanced stature then left Kadu the ranger and descended into the Fae Sacred valley, and by all accounts has been causing mayhem down there for over a year. With Kadu trying unsuccessfully to frequently reconcile their estrangement and bring his animal(plant) companion under control.
--------------------------------------------
Party Knowledge:
Funglewig has been causing mayhem in the Sacred valley, he has stolen powerful pixie dust from an eldar pixie, and has been using that to charm creatures in the Sacred Valley, including the Mighty Ofringar the Centaur whom despite Funglewig being oversized has been riding him around the valley as a mount..
Funglewig has been bringing evil humanoids by some unknown route into the valley. He has been charming and persuading several Ettins in the dark forest of the valley into his service, and by all accounts has ogres and a hill giant in his service too! He has been raiding several of the peoples of the valley and now calls himself "Funglewig King of the Sacred Valley". He has stolen an artifact known as the Heart of the Valley from its alter. The party has visited Funglewig verified all this and have negotiated a hard won deal. the return of the heart of the valley, but for more Tallow Wood Juice..... (Kadu being the only one who knows the recipe)...
