[Back to creatures]

Blightweeds are undead plant matter that take the form of briar patches and twisted thistles. They are not naturally occurring, but might be created by decay-oriented cultists out of the remains of a dead thresher moss or similar creature. Hollow Arboreans also summon Blightweeds as they seek to corrupt the forest around them.
