Chthonian: Dead Twilight
Name: Dead Twilight
Alternate Name: Oark Trees
Description: Dead Twilight, true to their name, takes the appearance of a dead Twilight Tree. They are completely bare of any leaves and do not grow fruits, instead growing another Chthonian called Bud-dies. They are usually found in empty fields rather than the forested areas of Vallice. Any relation to the Twilight Tree is currently unknown.
Behavior: Dead Twilight are immobile remaining rooted where they are. Despite this their trunks and branches are capable of complete mobility somewhat reminiscent of a tentacle. They usually remain mostly motionless until a human comes near. At this point they will throw Buddies at the human before growing more. When humans are not near they are observed making minor movements with their branches.
Threat: Much like most Chthonians, Dead Twilight dislike humans. The Chthonian they throw are filled with poisonous nectar and a putrid odor. The nectar is also bright, often resulting in a flash and a splash when the Bud-dies land. If a human gets close, the tree will grip them and hold them in place as it grows more Bud-dies. These Bud-dies will then approach the captive victim and continue poisoning them. Other actions include crushing and throwing the victim. Despite how dangerous this Chthonian is, it is not a threat if someone stays a safe distance away. In areas where Dead Twilight grow Bud-dies tend to frequent as well. Bud-dies are a threat of their own.
