"Bloatfingers. They can't stand to be seen. Loathsome, isn't it?"[1]

Bloatfingers are creatures that are endemic to the Elder Continent, commonly seen in the wilds of the Bleeding Forest and in the hidden city of Arbor.[2][3] They're serpentine creatures that are covered in fanged mouths and jeering eyes,[4] giving them a delightfully hideous appearance, and they often reside in large groups within the leaves of chertapple trees.[5] Unfortunately, they're woefully aware of their unseemliness and try to remain hidden, and they ruthlessly lash out at anyone who manages to observe them.[6]
