Coffin Tree

Coffin Tree are a kind of tree found in the Forests of Silence. From their long flowering branches hangs small woody pods known as Coffin Pods. The tree's red, orchid-like blooms are beautiful, but the pods are vicious, and snap at any living thing that passes by. The pods can kill insects, lizards and small birds, but they are not large enough to do humans more harm than severing an ear or finger. Neverthelss they should be avoided, particularly in First Wood, since the smell of warm blood attracts the Wennbar.
