GRABBERS – TL5

Grabbers are what happens when the Redmass infect trees. They start out as a microscopic variant called “Micro-Flesh” which float in the air to infect life. When it hits a tree, it begins building up a colony of the Micro-Flesh and hollowing out the tree. Once finished, the Grabber is completely covered by a shell of bark, which eventually falls off to reveal the Grabber. Grabbers often have many tentacles that replaced the branches of the tree which they use to grab prey and slowly digest by releasing enzymes onto it. They have long roots which they can use to settle into the ground or as limbs for transport.
