Bound Nature.
The Bound Horror is created from a recently slain creature via a Leshen druid’s Ritual Binding. It retains the general shape and size of its former self, but its body is overgrown with twisted roots, shadow-infused bark, and moss. It cannot cast spells or use any features the original creature had in life.

Description
A Bound Horror is what remains when life is extinguished under the gaze of a Leshen druid—and the soul is not permitted to rest.
Twisted by ritual, rooted in death, and animated by forest wrath, a Bound Horror is a grotesque fusion of the creature it once was and the Leshen’s will. Its body is wrapped in black roots, sinew, and rot. Hollow antlers grow from its skull like dead branches. Moss hangs from its limbs. Its eyes glow dimly, not with sentience, but with cursed purpose.
Each step it takes is unnaturally silent, save for the whisper of dragging vines. Its presence brings nausea, dread, and the feeling that something sacred has been broken. It does not speak. It does not think. It obeys the one who bound it.
A Bound Horror is not truly undead, nor alive—it is stolen breath given shape. A cruel imitation of life that ends only when the last root is burned away.
