Bear's cool, but let's just go with bear-like. Plant construct is less cool.

>>8530146

Oh what the fucking fuck...

So, this thing is undead AND a construct. There are a couple of ways that can work.

Why would any god want to create such a calamitous monstrosity?

Our god was of the opinion that everyone would love his all-consuming helltree and that the rest of creation would welcome it with open arms.

How many of these did he create, and-more importantly-are they multiplying?

>>He created one, and it doesn't breed.
>>He created a few, and they breed slowly.
>>He created a few, and they breed fast.
>>He created many, but they don't breed.
>>He created many, and they breed slowly.

Generic Astral-Realm type place. Psychics are particularly vulnerable to having their soul eaten by HELLTREE

>>8531436

They exist simultaneously in the mortal world, and in some ethereal realm. They feed by drawing the souls of their prey into this altverse, where they can siphon energy over an eternity of torment.

We know that these things were created en masse, and breed. However, everyone and everything is likely to have tried to control them. What's their current population?

>>Very few left, nearly extinct.
>>Few.
>>More than a few.
>>Why don't you just kill yourself?

rolled 74 = 74

Few. But the destruction of the other helltrees is the stuff of legends.

There was an epic, epic, EPIC crusade to rid the universe of these things, at great cost. Heroes of legend gave their lives. Today, only a few remain in hidden corners of the world.

Say, how do these things reproduce anyway?

>>They manually build more of themselves out of dead plants from the surrounding terrain.
>>They absorb plants into their mass to internally synthesize more of themselves.
>>They turn nearby plants undead, and those plants then absorb each other.
>>Something even worse (please specify)

>>They manually build more of themselves out of dead plants from the surrounding terrain.

rolled 72 = 72

>>8531576
>>>Something even worse (please specify)

They turn compatible species into paste which they then run into plants which turn them into helltrees

Uncompatible species become shrubs or a servant race

rolled 19 = 19

>>8531576

>>They turn nearby plants undead, and those plants then absorb each other.

>>8531613
Ah yes, The "helltrees"

>>8531613

Reaper-tree it is.

After absorbing the soul of its prey, the tree melts the body into a necrotic mush inside of its hollow trunk. This paste congeals into a kind of growth medium, that undead plants of various kinds begin to sprout from. In time, these shoots fuse together to make another colony creature, which is then ejected from the parent.

How mobile are the trees?

>>Sedentary. The young are dispersed magically or something.
>>Adults are sedentary, the young can move.
>>Adults can't move from their spot, but they can move their branches and limbs.
>>They...walk...

rolled 96 = 96

>>8531664

It's a slow process, but there are even real trees that walk. Helltrees are still slow by pretty much any standard, but they move. They can move their branches much more easily (think Whomping Willow).

rolled 49 = 49

>>8531664

THEY ALL WALK DAMN IT THE ROAM THE WORLD DESTROYING WITH NO MERCY OH GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE

rolled 10 = 10

>>8531733

It has to do with how they grow their roots. A tree will grow more roots (and tree) in one direction, and gradually let the bits on the other side die. Over time, the tree moves from one spot to another. It's a very long process, but it happens. Trees do all sorts of neat things. There's the strangler fig, which is like a vampire tree, there's the Ombu tree which is near indestructible... trees are cool.

rolled 22 = 22

Additional cool tree:

>>8531705

They can move very slowly across the land, almost too slow to notice (like a starfish). Their branches and vines and thorns and flytrap mouths are all pretty fast, though.

Okay. Start describing this creature's appearance. We'll decide which one wins by consensus.

rolled 52 = 52

They are... some unusual color. Maybe red. *nod*

rolled 68 = 68

>>8531818
They are a rusty brown and look like giant coniferous trees and their bark is twisted into the horrified faces of all the souls it has consumed.

rolled 27 = 27

They have the shape of a beautiful women and let out a sirens call to attract sailors

They have a brownish gray bark that resembles normal tree bark but when they eat souls every now and then a face of whatever they killed forms in the bark. Said face is not clearly visible from a distance but as you get closer to the tree you notice patterns in the bark that turn out to be a face.

rolled 87 = 87

>>8531818

Rusty-brownish in color, kind of what really dried-out blood looks like. Semi-transparent (heavily tinted) veins run over the surface of the tree, and within it, through which the tormented souls flow. It stretches upwards for a looooong ways, and is covered with very thick, strong bark. Its leaves are a dusty purple in color.

>>8531818
>We'll decide which one wins by consensus.

rolled 65 = 65

>>8531818
A supermassive tree which towers over all, the helltree's bark is actually formed from a vast quantity of dead plant matter that was reanimated and condensed into an incredibly durable brown-red substance that appears bark like from a distance, but is actually more comparable to a chitinous alloy. The tree has millions of branches which run all along it's trunk, all of which grab, bite, and strangle any living matter within it's grasp with numerous vines, thorns and "mouths" of dead carnivorous plants which were incorporated into it.

Remember, this thing has multiple different plants making up its body.

rolled 27 = 27

>>8531992

I'm liking this one. I still say purple for the leaves/needles (it's a conglomeration of coniferous and decidiuous), but everything else about this is great.

What's next?

>>8532050
Spikey, venomous leaves whose poison turns it's victims into undead servants of the tree.

The question is: do their victims simply become undead and listen to the whims of the tree, or are they added to the mass of the tree itself?

>>8532177
But it turns people into paste. I imagine the ground surrounding a helltree would be covered in this stick paste, and it would impair the movement of its potential victims.

>>8532223
sticky**

Also, maybe it spreads a special kind of pollen or miasma that subconsciously attracts people to it, like a venus fly trap attracts insects.

Now we just need a full summery

And a drawfag

>>8532249
>>8532169

Drawfag here, supply a full summary and I will spend the day on this.

>>8532238
It's pollen could have hallucinogenic effects.
The victims would be locked in a dissociative state of paralysis while they go through nightmarish visions of the collective helltree subconscious.

THE ASTRAL PLANE SURVIVAL GUIDE
By Azaltan Smit

Chapter 84: Helltrees

Q: What is a Helltree?

A: Good question. A helltree is a holy undead abomination, composed of necrotic undead plant life.

Q: Holy Abomination? Don't you mean Unholy?

A: No. No I do not. I am a wizard. I do not make typos. Despite appearances, the Helltree was actually created by ___________ god of ____________. Official sources have him quoted as saying that he just wanted to create something nice. Obviously, he failed rather spectacularly, which rather brings his omnipotence into question.

Q: So, it's a plant? That doesn't sound too harmful.

A: You are completely wrong. Helltrees eat SOULS. More on this later.

>>8532412
More later. I have to go eat now.

>>8532412

Goddammit. 4chan just ate my reply. Suffice to say for the moment: Helltrees are massive, have any number of ways to kill you (From crushing you with branches to noxious gasses that make you come closer whilst poisoning you to spiky vine whips), have a large trunk covered in (and composed of) undead branches and vines, which is a deep coppery red in color, like dried blood. The non-bark components are dusty purple in color. They are mobile, though slowly. It was made by a good god, who honestly thought people would appreciate them. They reproduce, though slowly, and most of them have been killed off by a grand crusade which also killed tons of heroes. Also, here's the last part of the Q&A, because I still have it:

Q: What does a Helltree look like?

A: For the last time, it's a conglomeration of dead plants. The compressed chitinous bark is reddish-brown, like dried blood. The leaves, vines, and all non-bark components are a dusty purple in color. Its entire trunk is lined with branches, flowers, flytraps, and vines. It is also unspeakably vast.

Q: Can I have sex with a Helltree?

A: No.

Q: Not even a female one?

A: What's wrong with you?

Q: What if there were a Helltree shaped like a humanoid female?

A: FINGER OF DEATH! Well, now that we're done with the Q&A, let's get into the chapter proper...


Now get with the drawfagging.

So wait. How do you kill it?

>>8533387
>Hahaha oh wow.jpg

>>8533387
hell tree eats u because of such an ignorant question

someone should really archive this at some point after the pic goes up and the convo dies down

>>8533387

Q: So wait, if I'm near a Helltree, how do I kill it?

A: You don't.

Q: So Helltrees can't be killed?

A: Well, mostly not. Have you ever heard of the Heltriad? It tells the story of the extermination of most of the Helltrees. Along with pretty much all of the heroes of the time.
