Overview
A Mystery Kreature which haunts the Cryptic Forest and other remote, heavily wooded areas. The psychoactive spores it emits cause severe respiratory inflammation to those within range and leaves them vulnerable to its devastating array of psionic abilities. It can induce feelings of primal dread, scramble the senses and induce mind-splitting headaches. It has been blamed for attacks on campers and hikers, wherein the victims have been torn to shreds and strung up on tree branches. It may have developed these abilities for self defense, but it's also rumoured that it feeds on blood and intense negative emotions. It's been said that only a Tamer with a tranquil heart and a mind at ease stands a chance against it in battle.
Definitely wouldn’t go out camping with this thing around.
I feel like the art style compliments this one better than most. It’s realistic and detailed enough to convey the spookiness and uncanny valley-ness that the design depends on, but is exaggerated and cartoony and generally intense enough to still feel like a battle-mons creature that fights other monsters.
Updated Comment: Foresprite is a perfect inhabitant for the Cryptic Forest. It’s colors, blank eyes, long slender arms, and the dress-like tendrils really give off the “forest spirit gone rouge” vibe.
