Description
These hand-sized, twig-like creatures have two long, sharp fingers on each hand that are ideal for reaching into small spaces. They have a general appearance of a flat-faced stick figure made of bark and twigs, which serves them well as a natural camouflage within foliage.
The Bowtruckle, which is a usually peaceful creature, is incredibly shy. It eats insects, and rarely leaves its treetop home. However, Bowtruckles have been known to offer companionship to those who prove themselves a friend to the forest.
