The Swarmweaver is a wickerfolk from Duskmourn.
Description
The Swarmweaver is formed from gnarled branches and wicker strips, with long crooked arms and shambling root-like legs.[1] His body sprouts several growths resembling a tree's crown, and his head is a cracked corpse-bee hive gaping open like a mouth lined with gums and teeth. From this maw spews a large swarm of corpse-bees.
History
While traveling through the Hauntwoods, an elvish scout accidentally disturbed a hive of corpse-bees.[2] The elf tried to flee but it was too late: The corpse-bees had already burrowed into him. Desperate to escape the pain, the elf reached out and grabbed the nearest wickerfolk hand, ready to be transformed and rendered impervious to the corpse-bees — only to discover that the transformation had left his sense of feeling intact, and the bees were still inside of him. Now the wickerfolk known as the Swarmweaver roams the House, seeking other survivors for its swarm of corpse-bees to colonize, providing it with a reprieve from its constant infestation.
