Trent
Narrated by Grandma
They are the most basic of grunt creatures of the lost ones. These things only know two things, to hunt and to follow simple orders.
A Trent can come into being in a number of ways, but they first came from defiled soil. Try to imagine evil working it's way in the dirt beneath a fallen tree. The dead plant absorbs the evil and comes to life. Only now it is a grotesque creature that feeds on any kind of life it finds. Other ways Trent's are born is by injecting it's venom into life forms. My favorite way is to make apple pie for youngsters. When they digest it they will slowly become one. And yes there are other ways that it can be done.
Trent's grow apples from the branches on their bodies. The apples give off a scent that is more alluring than gold itself. The apples will turn you into a Trent if you bite into one, but first it will cause you pain and paralyze you.
The strength of one of these beings is greater than a vehicle. If one was on a street and a car was in its path coming the other way. The Trent would flip it on its side and keep on going. So don't think running through a mess of trees and blocking it's path, will help you.
The last detail I will say, is it's Medusa ability to turn others into wood. It's eyes create a light that if seen directly with turn your body into wood. And they will still eat you, wooden or not.
