LUMINOR

"A guardian born from the seed of a blue star that fell from the sky, absorbing the forest's life force for centuries..."

Type: Flora / Extraterrestrial

Dimensions: H: 4-5m | W: 3m

Weight: ~900kg

Stands at a massive 4.5 meters, its form mirroring a colossal, sealed flower bud.
Crystal formations protrude from its stems, emitting a hauntingly soft cyan glow under the shroud of night.
Devoid of traditional roots, it slithers and traverses the land using grotesque, tentacle-like root-appendages.
When the bud violently blooms, it exposes dozens of unblinking, crystalline blue eyes.

Lurks in meteorite-struck forests, dense fog-shrouded swamps, and pitch-black abyssal caves.
Feeds not only via photosynthesis but drinks the very essence of moonlight and starlight.
Twists the surrounding flora, accelerating their growth into venomous, toxic vines.
Known to act as an eternal sentinel, guarding the same sacred grove for hundreds of years.

Usually dormant, its aggression spikes violently to High when its domain is trespassed.
Lashes out with razor-sharp vine whips and suffocates invaders in toxic spore clouds.
The spores plunge victims into a waking nightmare, severely distorting their sense of direction and reality.

Radiant Regeneration: Basks in moonlight to rapidly knit its wounds back together.
Seed of Life: Even if felled in battle, a surviving seed ensures its resurrection decades later.
Illusionary Pollen: Unleashes a cloud of maddening pollen that causes enemies to turn on their own allies in a fit of hallucination.

* It poses no threat to those who respect the woods, yet relentlessly hunts the defilers of nature to the ends of the earth.
