Description
The Blighted Twig is a small, eerie plant-like creature infused with the corrupting energy of the Blighted Scourge. It lurks in forests, blending perfectly with dead branches and foliage, waiting for an unsuspecting victim. Though individually weak, Blighted Twigs often attack in swarms, scratching and clawing at their prey to spread their infection. Their twisted forms pulse with blighted energy, and their sharpened appendages exude an unnatural malice.
