Description
The Blighted Sea Urchin is a deceptively small yet incredibly dangerous creature, lurking in the shadows of reefs and deep-sea trenches. Its once-natural spines have elongated and mutated into jagged, crystalline barbs, oozing with deadly toxins and pure blighted energy. Any creature that dares to touch it risks immediate infection, as the corrupted quills pierce flesh with a venom that paralyzes and warps the victim’s body. When threatened, it can release a deadly burst of poisoned spines in all directions, creating an expanding field of corruption that spreads through the ocean currents, ensuring that the infection claims new hosts with every tide.
