The cobwood tree is a carnivorous species of willow that grows in the acidic, nutrient-poor soils found in bogs. The tree's wispy, pendulous branches support silvery leaves covered in glistening drops of mucilage. The cobwood tree feeds on the insects attracted to these sweet, sticky secretions. This extra source of nutrients compensates for the poor quality of the soil.

Cobwood is nearly black in color with a silvery grain that resembles moonlit strands of gossamer.

Cobwood is named for both the appearance of the wood and the tree's insectivorous diet. Some claim that Harawep created the first cobwood trees, allowing them to flourish where other trees wither by mimicking the diet of spiders. For this reason, the tree is considered sacred to Harawep.

Cobwood is commonly used for high-end furniture and decorative inlays, which are usually lacquered to enhance the wood's intricate grain. Cobwood is also well suited for use in light crossbows and composite bows.
