Unfortunately, there is no bamboo to be found here - "Bamboo Forest" is a misnomer. Most of the trees here merely grow tall and thin like bamboo. It's quite breathtaking in the fall, when all the multicolored leaves fall off. However, it's not a very popular tourist destination, for it's home to a variety of strange and dangerous creatures. It's said that an evil force lurks in the heart of the forest, for it has the power to turn previously inanimate objects into vicious monsters.

5 different species here:
Creature | Appearance | Info |
---|---|---|
001: Pearasite |
|
You'd think a piece of fruit would be harmless. Think again!
If you see a random pear that appears to be frowning, beware. It'll open its eyes and try to
latch onto you. As indicated by its name, a Pearasite is always seeking hosts, and it isn't
picky either - it's even willing to cannibalize!
HP: 10 Attack: 5 Defense: 3 Drops: Pear Nectar |
002: Moonfly |
|
A distant cousin of the Luna moth, the Moonfly brings life to forests with its bioluminescence.
The "eyes" on its wings glow especially brightly, which some find slightly unsettling.
Its docile nature makes it a popular pet.
HP: 3 Attack: 0 Defense: 1 Drops: Ephemeral Wings, Glowing Ooze |
003: Weaver |
|
It looks like someone's design project came to life! After the semester ended, Weaver was
left to decay in the forest. Tired of being forgotten, it somehow gained the power to move
around on its own, and it ventured deep into the darkness, where it continues to seek a new,
loving companion to this day.
HP: 6 Attack: 3 Defense: 2 Drops: Paper Peels |
004: Wafflesnake |
|
Despite its cute name, a Wafflesnake is very aggressive and tanky. Comprised of 100lbs of special
cardboard, it'll hide in trees and try to crush you. It's not a terribly bright creature though,
so it's often found floundering in hunter's traps.
HP: 20 Attack: 10 Defense: 20 Drops: Beefy Board, Crappy Board |
005: Royal Façade |
|
Once upon a time - a time where bamboo may have existed in the Bamboo Forest - there was an ancient
kingdom. However, it was razed to the ground by the enemy kingdom in what is now the Caves of Tintinnabulation.
This mask is one of the few surviving artifacts from the time. Infused with the spirit of the slain king,
the Royal Façade seals itself to a human's face, drains the life out of him or her, and possesses the body.
Each new body becomes a new addition to the king's army - the army he needs to regain the power he once had.
HP: 15 Attack: 7 Defense: 15 Drops: Bespeckled Beard |
Shops
- Bamboo Hut
- The Sugar Cane
Phil's humble fashion store and house made from natural materials. Here, you can find equipment made of body parts from the local monsters. If you bring enemy drops to Phil here, he'll gladly take them off your hands and pay you well. This is the only place where you can obtain a Beefy Shield.
A sweet smelling underground potion brewery. Though no one has ever been inside, artistic impressions of it tend to resemble sewage plants for some reason. Nobody knows who the owner is or what she looks like because she never leaves the building and conducts all business through a hole in the wall. The Sugar Cane's signature drink contains fermented Pear Nectar (harvested from Pearasites), which - despite sounding disgusting - tastes delicious and accelerates healing of wounds.
People
- Cambodian Dude
- Phil
- Sugar Cane Owner
You see him everywhere, from the scenic mountains of China to a refugee camp. Some have even reported seeing him sprouting wings and flying into the night sky! Poor dude keeps ending up in misadventures.
He's well known in America as a model and for his fashion line derived from monster parts. You always see him wearing a Weaver skin on his back. Some say it's from his beloved deceased buddy, Steve. Currently, you can find him in the Bamboo Hut selling his wares.
She runs The Sugar Cane, a potion brewery. Not much else is known about her. The only parts of her that people ever see are her heavily tattooed hands. She claims that she tattooed herself to hide scars, scars from vicious Pearasites. Rumor has it that she harvests the Pear Nectar with her bare hands!

Miscellaneous
Fun fact: Bamboo Forest used to be entirely bamboo eons ago. But one day, there was a spontaneous fire and it all burned down. Bamboo couldn't be found anywhere else in America, so people from neighboring areas decided to rebuild the forest by planting trees resembling bamboo.
