Blood thorns are ghastly-looking [[tree]]s that grow only in the deepest [[cavern]] layers. They are distinguished from their peers by being the [[density|densest]] tree in the game (though [[glumprong]]s come close), being approximately half as dense as most stones, and by their unique crimson color. When [[wood cutter|cut down]] they produce extremely heavy crimson [[wood]] that cannot be found anywhere else, making for heavy-set but colorful furniture and slightly less useless wooden [[ballista]] bolts. Curiously, trampled young blood thorns are ''purple'' rather than dark gray, presumably due to the plant having been "bruised" - this is in imitation of the "[[blood]]" in their name. | Blood thorns are ghastly-looking [[tree]]s that grow only in the deepest [[cavern]] layers.
