Blights were monstrous plant creatures that were the legacy of the vampire Gulthias.
Origin[]
When the vampire Gulthias was killed, the wooden stake that slew him was infused with his evil essence. Soon it grew into an evil sapling. A mad druid took it to an underground grotto where it grew into a large tree, and its seeds were used to sow the first blights.
History[]
A group of druids cultivated an army of blights and used them to take over the Wizard of Wines winery in Barovia and stole one of its gems to use in a ritual on Yester Hill to bring the tree blight Wintersplinter to life.[1]
Blight Types[]
- Twig blights are small blights that look like a jumble of twigs.
- Needle blights shoot needles at their enemies.
- Vine blights look like a jumble of vines. They use their vines to try to entangle foes.
- Tree blights are the most monstrous blights. They are trees turned into blights via a foul ritual.
