Reapers

First apperance: Ultima IV

Last apperance: Ultima VII/2



Description

A harmless looking tree can be the end, if a traveler isn't aware of this danger. Reapers are trees, occupied by evil spirits, transforming them in death-traps. Reapers are either rooted to the ground, or can only move slowly. But they make up for this with their long, tentacle-like branches and their strang magic spells, which spell doom for everyone near. But since its body is wood, fire will destroy a Reaper very fast.

They can be found mainly in forests, but also dwell within dungeons.

Evolution in the series

Reapers first appeared in Ultima IV. From there on, they changed very little in all the installments they appeared in. The only difference was that sometime they can move, and sometimes not.
