AN ACTUAL TREE      Henry is a tall, relatively attractive fellow (in that spacey hipster garbage kind of way) with disheveled clothes and a shy disposition. His skin has been replaced with striped birch bark and his hair is now a mop of limp, pale leaves. Two long, bug-eaten leafy ears poke out from either side of his head and always seem to be picking up sounds. Fuzzy wisps of moss pepper his chin. When his slightly amorphous face isn't disguising them as a pair of knotholes, his eyes are green, both his sclera and iris, though his iris is darker. His teeth are sharp. Tiny white flowers can be found sprouting out of him (skin, hair, they aren't picky) when he is happy or in good health. His body seems to lack bones as his arms and legs bend in a cartoony, noodle-like way as he walks. His insides are a complete mystery besides his blood now being sticky and green. Henry's hands are tipped in long, curved, claw-like roots and his feet look like tree trunks crossed with chicken legs. That is really the best way to describe them.      The nymph is covered with other plant life as well! Shelf-like mushrooms jut out from his elbows and some small parasitic plants have made their home on his feet and neck. A large branch juts out from his back and helps him collect extra sunlight. While his face is not terribly expressive, his emotions ripple across his whole body like the seasons. Flowers bloom, leaves shrivel and die. When Henry is under heavy stress, his bark crawls with thin, white stalks of fungus. Should these stalks be allowed to reach maturity, they release a poison that causes frightening hallucinations. He carries a shovel. TRAVEL FORM      Henry received a travel form via a wish from Tikbalang and so far it's given him...mixed results. As LOG DEER, Henry is swift and silent, easily avoiding detection and attackers alike. He is very flexible and can climb very well using his roots and pose as a yard decoration, easily overhearing those sweet deets. This is essentially a stealth mode. He's almost too embarrassed by how he looks to interact with people for extended periods of time. LOG DEER has no teeth but can still deliver a nasty pinch. He has no throat and must eat with his feet. His speech still seems to emanate from his mouth though. FOG FORM When the fog rolls in, Henry grows like a weed and becomes a towering, deciduous nightmare. He doesn't so much resemble a man as he does a tree trying very hard to be a man. His facial features flatten out and his eyes are replaced by a pair of dark, mournful-looking knotholes. His mouth is a gash cut into his face, as though by some lover scarring up a tree with a pocketknife. His arms are covered in thorns, long, and his knuckles nearly drag the ground. The vines on his back unfurl and arc above him like a pair of scorpion tails, his actual tail creating the third, thorny spear. Fungus covers him on the nastier nights. MONSTER ABILITIES TREE HUGGER Henry is able to control nearby plants, making them grow in strange and helpful ways. He calls this 'talking' to them. OK Henry. HANG AROUND A WHILE Henry has a few long vines on his back that he keeps coiled up under his shirt. The longest is an ivy-like tail covered in leaves and thorns that runs down his spine and trails by his ankles. All of his vines are strong enough to grasp humans and support him in the trees. WOODSMAN Very in-tune with his surroundings. It's hard to sneak up on him in the woods and it's impossible for him to get lost. WHAT A SAP Henry's 'blood' is green. He can secrete it as a sticky sap that can trap humans. BACK TO ROOTS Henry absorbs nutrients from the Earth and from human bodies with the roots on his hands and feet. DUDE...DUUUUDE Produces hallucinogenic spores from the mushrooms that grow on him. They are not fun hallucinations. JUST RELAX, MAN Henry's fangs hold a powerful venom that puts humans to sleep. MONSTER WEAKNESSES FIRE Being a tree, Henry is badly damaged by fire. He is very frightened of it. HOME SWEET HOME If Henry's home tree (A large Oak in the middle of Bavan Central Park) is harmed/destroyed, he becomes severely weakened. He could even die. THE GREEN WRATH Henry is disgusted by those who senslessly harm plants. He can be provoked into a rage and has even been arrested once. There was a lawnmower involved.
