Homebrew Dread Thorn Species Details

The Dread Thorns are not naturally occurring Fey but rather beings born from the intersection of prolonged emotional suffering and deep-seated environmental corruption. Their lineage is defined by a slow, parasitic malice, driving them to seek out and exploit the weaknesses of others. They are gaunt, pale figures whose skin is replaced by sickly, petal-like tissue and whose bodies constantly extrude venomous, black thorns. They view the healthy growth of nature and the vitality of living creatures as resources to be harvested and drained, not cherished.
