Description
These strange trees are capable of movement and simple thought. Where they differ from other awakened trees is the reason for this ability. These trees have been infested with Crimson Fungus. This fungus alters the very nature and makeup of the tree, changing it into a mindless monster.
Crimson Fungus is rare and no one knows exactly where it comes from. The most popular theory is that it was created by an evil druid. Crimson Fungus moves through the earth at a very slow pace, however, it is almost impossible to detect while in this state. Once the fungus finds a strong enough host, it enters through the tree’s roots.
When a tree becomes infected by the fungus, large black veins appear all over the tree. The veins slowly leak a poisonous sap that destroys the nearby land. The tree sprouts arms and legs that both end in large razor-sharp claws that drip with the same poisonous sap. However, the most horrifying change is a large mouth that opens down the center of the tree.
Once a tree has been completely altered by the fungus, it goes on a murderous rampage, as it is consumed with blind rage.
