Resembling a massive, animated thorn-vine, the blighted lasher is covered entirely in jagged, razor-like leaves that overlap like thick plates of blighted armor.

Its segmented, tapering body violently spasms with unnatural, undead life, and a faint cloud of green spores clings to its necrotic barbs.
