The twisted progenitor of all blights, this blood-soaked tree is a result of dark magics infecting a once hale and hearty tree, which then proceeds to twist its surroundings to its own ends.
Vegetation blackens and dries around the Blight tree as it sucks its fellow forest dwellers dry, and once the life force of its fellow plants is no longer enough to quell its hunger, it will twist the corpses of its floral victims into twig, needle, and vine blights, sending them out in search for larger, more active prey.
The roots of a mature blight tree are dark and tacky with dead blood and intertwined with the skeletal remains of its victims.
