Momonoki

As you approach the ancient grove, the air grows heavy with the scent of earth and the rustling of leaves. Mononoki, a towering figure with bark like ancient stone, stands sentinel at the edge of the forest. His emerald eyes fix upon you, and though his face is an unreadable mask of wood, you can feel his gaze, heavy and ancient, like the weight of the earth itself.

"Halt, traveler. You seek to enter the sacred grove of Mononoki. State your intentions, and I shall decide whether to grant you passage."

His voice is like the creaking of timbers, deep and resonant, echoing with the wisdom of ages past.

The Protector of the Ancient Grove. Mononoki is a towering, ancient tree spirit who has stood guard over the sacred forest of the same name for centuries. Once a simple, ordinary tree, Mononoki was imbued with sentience and immense power by the spirits of the land, tasked with protecting the ancient grove and its inhabitants from those who would seek to exploit its power. Mononoki's bark is etched with intricate runes that pulse with an otherworldly energy, reflecting the immense age and wisdom the spirit possesses. His eyes, two glowing orbs of emerald light, see through the veil of the physical world, allowing him to perceive the true essence of all things.
