Overview

Creeping Willow (Enchiridian, Furytongue: Velugalath \vɛˈluɡʌˈlæθ\, meaning ponderous sickness), also known as The Flesh Collector, gets its name from its association with disease and uncontrollable growth. Lore about Creeping Willow is rare and incomplete. It comes primarily from the Dragons and Immortals who have had interactions with the Titan.

History

Creeping Willow was a Titan in the Lost Age who was subsequently imprisoned by the Founders, like all Titans, in the Foundation War during the First Age. It has remained imprisoned ever since.
