The Gorseling!

A new beast has made its way to Twin Skies; The Gorseling!
If you happen upon a particularly nasty patch of stinging nettles or thorny vines, odds are good that either a gorseling caused it, or is currently living inside of it. These botanical-based little monsters are devoted to sucking and choking the life from all other plants and replacing it with brier and gorse. Part because it’s their favoured habitat, and part because they seem to relish the misery their prickly preferences cause.
Like a weed, they spread their painful plants anywhere they go and as far as possible. A farmer who finds a vine covered in thorns on his land is in for a hard fight to save his crops, both from the brier and from the greedy gorselings that gulp down any veggies and fruit they can get their hands on. It’s no secret why the saying ’stubborn as a gorseling patch’ is a popular phrase amongst farmers.
