Bramblekin

Bramblekin are what happens when the overgrown forests of Zone 1 grow something with a temper. These small, hostile plant creatures are woven together from thorns, twisted vines, and dense bramble matter — barely distinguishable from the undergrowth until they lunge. They are aggressive on sight, making even a casual walk through dense woodland a prickly affair. Their compact size belies how quickly they close distance, and the thorn-covered frame they attack with can shred unprotected skin. Clearing an area of Bramblekin is often the unglamorous first step of any Zone 1 exploration.
