A blighted lasher 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
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. Where a living plant might be green, the lasher's flesh is a sickly, bruised purple and ash-grey. Its segmented, tapering body violently spasms with unnatural, undead life, and a faint cloud of green spores clings to its necrotic barbs.
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 blighted lashers and withered thrashers.[1]
