Characteristics
Pine needlers are diminutive humanoid creatures distinguishable by the green puffs of fur on their bodies. They wear yellow grass skirts and yellow masks with black buttons covering their eyes. Two balls of fluff poke out of the tops of their masks and they have a beard made from the same green fluff. In their hands, they carry sharp wooden needles that they wield like lances in thrusting attacks. The pine needlers can bring their fellow monsters that have fallen in battle with all of the Yggdrasil leaves that they've collected.
