Description
Brackens, also sometimes called Flower Men, are shadowy, humanoid entities. They quietly stalk prey in order to snatch them away and snap their necks, where they will take them back to their home territory and absorb the nutrients of the prey, and then return to the hunt after their meal is finished. This normally takes around 30 minutes to siphon the nutrients out of a small sized creature, 1 hour for a medium sized creature, around 2 hours for a large sized creature. They will only ever target creatures that is of the range from small to Large. Anything smaller is not worth it's time, and anything bigger, it would not be able to carry. Bracken are solo hunting creatures from the Shadowfell and are rarely ever seen in the area of which a predatory animal it deems as too dangerous is hunting, much less ever in the area of another Bracken's territory. These creatures are incredibly strong, Intelligent, and Dexterous so the sightings of this creature is of a short list, and the amount of people that have actually lived to tell the tale is even shorter. They often stay to the shadows, and it is said that prolonged eye contact with them will enrage them. It is a bipedal vertebrate with the skin color and texture of a red beet. The slang name it can go by is counted for what appear to be leaves protruding from its upper spine. The purpose of these is believed to be for intimidation, however not much is know about the specifics of Bracken behavior due to its elusiveness and low population. These creatures are said to be creatures to have been shaped by the hands of Vecna himself, as a means for quick kills on the army of the Raven Queen. Others say it is just what happens when the dark twists of the Shadowfell extends it's strangling hands over anything that lives, warping it into the nastiest version of itself. Either way. These creatures are a nasty class all of their own, and any interaction with them is warned to be avoided at all costs.
