Yggdra

A monster resembling a wicked tree with 9 distinct thorny branches, capable of hiding its presence among other trees. It comes from the sea and needs to return to the sea from time to time to survive, planting its leg-like roots in the salt water for sustanence. If any of its branch-like arms are lost, instead of just regrowing, it splits and regrows into two new arms almost instantly, making the Yggdra more lethal. The Yggdra needs the iron from other creatures' blood to survive, but isn't directly a hunter of humans or alike. Its most common prey is fish at the coastal forests shores or birds or smaller mammals. However, it doesn't hesitate attacking bigger targets.
