Shard-Touched Roots

These blights were once ordinary twig blights rooted around the Crescent Moon guardian. When fragments of a luminous shard sank into the soil, the plants became sensitive to moonlight and movement. They now defend the guardian with unnerving coordination, entangling trespassers while the greater entity prepares to awaken.
