Sylvaneth – The Twistweald
6" 2 5+ 1 The Twistweald were once Sylvaneth like any other. Now their bodies are grown over with parasitic plants and fungi that choke their bark and muddy their minds. They wander in a state of pain-induced frenzy, attacking with lashing thorned roots and clouds of vicious spites until their enemies are shredded into pulp. | ||
