Thorny Drifters are great, caterpillar-like beasts who make their home in the branches of the great, plane-spanning tree that is Yggdrasil. Though fearsome in appearance, they are, in their natural habitat, near the bottom of the food chain, causing them to be skittish and reclusive. Thorny Drifters that travel to other planes on the branches and roots of Yggdrasil, however, tend to seek out a habitat which they can dominate. Thorny Drifters resemble giant, bluish-green caterpillars about five to six feet long and two to three feet in girth. They have a set of fierce mandibles, and are covered in bright yellow, dagger-like spines, their bright colors a warning of their poisonous nature. Unlike their mundane cousins, Thorny Drifters do not undergo metamorphosis–or at least, if they do, no one has ever seen it, nor its result. A Thorny Drifter can be summoned with a summon nature’s ally I spell.
