Akateko
A sentient tree with twisted branches and gnarled roots, the Akateko possesses a sinister ability to ensnare unsuspecting prey. With a mastery of illusion, it projects psychic images under its branches that draw victims closer, luring them beneath its leafy canopy. The projected images often take the form of alluring beauties, lost children, or distressed figures.
