A Mortal Vessel that has been morphed and corrupted by a strange force or spell. It was attached to the black tree at the lowest level of the Sunless Citadel. Horrifying vines and roots wrap around it's body and seem to pierce into it at several points, possibly the cause of the physical changes to it's mortal form, most notably it's size and the horrifying state of it's flesh which seems to have become petrified and sturdy.
