A broken rift of sunken wilds where roots protrude from every crack and the earth coils with hunger. The hollow was formed when a tectonic plate collapsed inward trapping an ancient forest beneath the surface. The roots still grow upward seeking light.

| Ground blurb || The Fault Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Thornhollow Rift's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by rift tectonic conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Thornhollow Rift would be if the biome could choose to fight.
