Description
The Curog Strikethorn can easily be mistaken for a Shambling Mound at first glance, however what sets it apart from the Shambling Mound is it's more bestial form akin to a Lion crossed with a Alligator with horns made from fallen branches of Curog's leafless trees, the body itself is made up of vines and branches, and within it's chest there is a "core" that gives the creature it's slight amber glow, it stalks Curog's Forests and Mires fulfilling much the same role as Treaents of other regions of the world.
