A withered thrasher is one of the undead variants of morah vines and morah creepers introduced to the Forest of Night with Tuesday Tidings 350 on November 3, 2026.[1]
Description
A twisted mockery of a natural creeper, the thrasher is a thick, undulating cable of dead plant matter and necrotic muscle. Its length is heavily armored with diseased, razor-sharp leaves that scrape against each other with the sound of rusted iron. Swollen, diseased nodules pulse erratically along its flanks, leaking a foul, necrotic sap that burns the very soil it slithers across.
Area Information
The room area is Forest of Night, Outer Woods.
Found in the Forest of Night just outside the entrance to Silverclaw Hub, in the area added for withered thrashers and blighted lashers.[1]
