Overview
Needle Blights, like its brethren the Shadow-Cursed Vine Blight and Shadow-Cursed Shambling Mound, conceal themselves within the surrounding vegetation in order to ambush passersby. The player must pass a 
DC 30 Perception check to spot these ambush parties and avoid being surprised.
Needle Blights are small, fragile, and numerous, acting as frontline enemies during their encounters. Their 
on death can chain together if many blights are caught in the radius, dealing massive damage to enemies and allies alike.
They apply 
to the terrain surrounding their corpse on death.
Range: 4 m / 13 ft 
AoE: 4 m / 13 ft (Radius)
