Iugum Mortuus
Basic Details
Common Name: Wasp Trees
Average Height: Ten to fifteen feet
Average Weight: It's a tree....a TREE
Usual Pelt Colour: Their bark is generally black, though you might find one that's still got a slightly brownish tint left in it.
General Appearance: It's a tree, any sort of tree will do, the infestation makes them all Oaks in the end. The tree is (if successful) surrounded by the decaying corpses of its prey, a clear warning sign to anyone who sees it. An even clearer warning sign would be the holes in the trunk, each leading to a different part of the catacomb that the Rose Wasps have ripped into it and left their queen in. The queen that resides near the tree's core resembles not a wasp but a sack of flesh with several holes lining its sides. Thick veins pulsing across its body with green blood as it gives birth to more drones, sick green larva that are forced to mature in hours before being sent out get new prey for the tree.
Ecological Details

Niche:Anywhere dry and dark
