Hello. This is Ryo Asuka. A while ago, Akira Fudo and I went into the forest to observe the mutated wildlife and learn more about the origins of the quest monsters.
The regular animals reproduce just fine, despite their mutations; they have clear family units with children and we even found eggs in a nest. The mutations appear to be entirely random and aren't passed down from parent to offspring. I also observed several species that are completely out of place in this climate, such as bearded dragons, a genus of reptiles endemic to Australia. (For those not familiar with Australia, it's a continent known for its deserts and generally hot climate.)
When we tried to find where the quest monsters originate from, we ended up walking in circles. It felt like we were going in the right direction, but we found no origin point at all. We eventually gave up and decided to just look for the quest monsters and found a large group of harpies almost immediately. Unlike with the regular wildlife, there were no young harpies around and we found no eggs in their nests either. Of course, the lack of eggs can be explained by it being in the middle of winter, but it really seems as though the quest monsters don't reproduce at all and are dropped into the woods specifically for the quests.
We then headed deep into the woods and encountered a strange, powerful creature. It didn't look like any mythological creature I'm familiar with, so I've attached a sketch in case anyone is able to identify it.
[ Pretend there's a sketch here! It's kind of rudimentary since Ryo isn't the best artist around, but he gets the important details across: A strange faceless creature with limbs like branches. ]
Bullets barely grazed it and it attacked with sharp appendages capable of tearing through flesh and claws coated with some sort of poison—after it scratched me, fatigue began to set in immediately and it felt as though it was draining my body of energy. We quickly realized that the two of us wouldn't be able to defeat it so we retreated. It took me several days to recover from the poison and the scratch healed much slower than expected.
This is just conjecture on my part, but I believe this creature might be some sort of guardian that doesn't want us to get past a certain point. If we could defeat it, maybe we'd find something worthwhile. I've heard other people have had similar encounters; if you've met anything like it deep in the woods, any sharing of information would be appreciated.
