Height: 100’
Element: Nature
Description: Relativly thin, very tree like in apprenace; even her skin and 'hair' appear to be covered in smooth scaly grey bark.
Hobbies: Sleeping, Squeezing the life out of her prey.
Personal Quote: "I think I have a crush on you!"
Abilities: Arbor is a very skilled ambush predator, her tree like apperance is the perfect camouflage in the deep twisted forest where she resides. Her underground roots are very sensative to movement, altering her when prey or danger is near. Arbor's main weapons are her 'hair' and arms which uses to catch and eat her prey. Ulinke other Dryads, Arbor will ensare her prey before slowly constricting her victim, while wraping more of her thick trendils around their body. When dead, Arbor applies even more pressure untill the inerds start to bleed out, these are then absorbed by the trendils. What remains of the body are then droped on the ground, as the trendils return to their natural position; awaiting their next victim. The many tendils allows Arbor to 'eat' several victims at once, her long and powerful arms allow Arbor to prey on even small giantesses. The fact she grows out of the Felaryain soil allows Arbor to heal very quickly from wounds. Arbor is not known to possess any magical abilities.
Weaknesses: Like most things that are flammable, Arbor is afraid of and vulnerable to fire, but most times she is set alight, only her outer bark burns, which is quickly healed. Human axes are known to cut through her trendils and even into her body. When it becomes clear danger is near, Arbor uses her camouflage to blend in with the rest of the trees around her.
Personality: Arbor is a cruel and sadistic creature, loving the feel of her prey squriming against her coils, knowing they can't escape her strong grasp. When given the chance, Arbor will spend hours squeezing and taunting her victims before finally crushing them. As to why Arbor only feeds on females is unknown, though it is whispered that she loves their sweet tatse above all else. After squeezing her prey, Arbor enjoys sleeping while she feeds off the secreted inerds. While asleep Arbor is camouflaged. Arbor rarely speaks, though when she does she is cruel and very witty, a cold intelligence in her voice. For those who have the displeasure of listening to her mock them, it s already too late.
History: Little is known about Arbor as most who see her awake soon end up having breathing trouble, though it is thought that she is the only one of her species in the forest, prehaps the only one in Felarya.
Relationships: None are known, but it is rumoured that she has developed a friendship with a young human woman who guides unsusspecting victims to Arbor, in exchage for enjoying Arbor's coils.
