Night twists are evil tree-like plants most notable for their haunting songs of despair. Such songs influences intelligent creatures for miles surrounding the night twist, influencing them with a crushing despair effect and forcing them to draw near, upon which time the night twist uses its phantasmal killer ability or, failing that, its powerful slams. They gain nourishment from the decaying remains of their victims.[1]

Away down deep in the swamp, deeper than the Green Maiden, deeper than ol' Chicken Bone, deeper even (some say) than the Lord himself, that's where Old Man Willow grows, singing to himself about all the wrong done in the world, and all the wrong yet to do. It's a sad song, and a cruel song; don't never harken to it, child, because them that do find theyselves always turning a little deeper, always turning a little deeper, until they find theyselves at the foot of an ol' black willow tree without any leaves on him, an ol' black willow tree watered in blood and grown on dead men's bones. And then you may cry, you may scream, you may run, but you'll never come home again, and your bones will lie mouldering between the roots of Old Man Willow.-traditional Souragnien folktale[5]
