Nest Spore 1

“No way…” Dan said, slowly raising his axe as he gazed at the treeline.

A new monster was emerging.

“What the-? What even is that?”

“Huh, didn’t expect to see one of those here.” Paul brandished his cloud spear once more.

The creature was as tall as most of the trees. Its body was kite-shaped; large logs made a teepee shape around a glowing green core, with smaller branches and sticks filling the gaps in between.

Four thick tree trunk legs attached on each side of it, each of them thumping into the ground, every step slowly driving it forwards.

There was an opening at the front of its body, allowing green light to wash out from the glowing green core inside.

Its body was like a walking wooden furnace - of course, there was no fire inside, only the green ball of a plasma-like energy.
