**Description**: The Corrupted Wyldling is a once-playful fey creature twisted by dark magic, embodying the chaotic essence of the forest it inhabits. Wielding nature's powers, it ensnares intruders in bramble traps and uses its agility to outmaneuver foes. Fiercely protective of its domain, it employs guerrilla tactics, striking from the shadows and retreating to the cover of thick foliage, reveling in the fear it instills. The Wyldling’s demeanor is unpredictable, with moments of childlike mischief interspersed with fierce aggression, reflecting the chaotic nature of the wilds it represents.
