Description

Bloom Bamboo Guardians appear whimsical and harmless, often found in peaceful groves or cultivated gardens. Their pastel surroundings and soft shapes disguise a territorial nature. When threatened, their bodies animate with sharp bamboo growths, vines lash outward, and their hollow torso echoes with eerie wind-like sounds. They are both protectors of nature and ambush predators; luring intruders close before restraining and overwhelming them.
