Monsters Related to: Ancient Leshen

Physiology: The Leshens body structure or biology is completely alien to the known world. He stand upright on two limbs that support snd eerie humanoid made of what appears to be wood, which is covered in ragged clothing; branches grow from his shoulders, which may have the remains of his recent victims hanging upon them. The head of the creature is top with a skull, with antlers unlike anything seen in the Old and New World. The creature lacks eyes, a mouth, or any other features, suggesting that in his world, he is an actual nature spirit rather than a living being. Lacking eyed, the most noticable feature is his long arms with razor sharp claws. Geralt of Rivia believes that the Leshen in the New World is much more powerful than the beast kin in his world because of the rich nutrients of the Ancient Forest.

Behavior: He is very territorial and will attack anything that he can not (or do not wish to) influence with his magic. It is said that the creature is attuned with the forests in which he lives, and will slam anyone who fails to treat the Forest with respect. Legends state that the Leshen despise humans so much because their destroying the forests to expand their seetlements.

Abilities: While not physically agile or strong in comparison to other creatures the Commission face (even after absorbing the rich nutrients of the Ancient Forest), he has powerful magical abilities that he can use to command nature. He has the ability to summon lesser monsters to aid him like Jagras, Gajalaka, and Revoltures and even control strangling roots from the ground.

Why he is my favorite?
-he is the 2ne best crossover monster ever, the first being Final Fantasy Behemoth.
-playing as Geralt is satisfying, as well as using the igni ability for the fight.
-not to mention, his battle theme is worth listening two.
-having a Pukei-Pukei helping Geralt is also cool.
