The Kodama of the West Tree is a kami of the Autumn Tree of the Jukai on Kamigawa.

History[ | ]

The Kodama of the West Tree is the Kami of the Autumn Tree in Jukai forest. Gloomy, dangerous, and feral, it values the hunt above all else and lives by the creed "survival of the fittest."[1] It is over thirty feet tall, with wide limbs covered in bark and a mouth stretched with threads of golden sap. A dozen luminescent blossoms circle its head, and cascades of smaller branches trail down its shoulders like a crown of hair.[2] It has a passionate hatred of Towashi and all who live within it and frequently prowls the edge of the forest where it abuts the city, stalking and attacking any mortals who try to enter without the kami's blessings. Its peaceful appearance is merely a ruse: those who are foolish enough to be lured in by the calming glow of its lights often find themselves the recipients of a swift and merciless death.[3]
