Lore & Description

Appearance

A crawling hand formed from tangled roots and cracked bark, its fingers like knotted branches. Moss clings to its surface, and a weathered ring sits on its middle finger, etched with leaves that seem to pulse with life. It drags itself along the forest floor, snagging on undergrowth as it moves, the ring's green glow guiding its slow, patient pursuit of new bodies to bind to its will.

Behavior & Origins

In the deepest glades, a ring lost to time binds itself to a decaying limb, animating it into a sentient, creeping hand. The Verdant Ringbound Hand serves the ring’s will, weaving vines and roots to entangle intruders and drain vitality. It seeks to expand its living forest by binding others to the ring, growing its own network of living wood and green power.
