The spirit of the woods, Leshy

It is a pure anthropomorphic creature, half plant, half human, which is classified as an arboreal spirit that protects and defends the animals of the forests and marshes.
It is usually neutral or benevolent in nature with humans, although it can have a somewhat tricky and playful character, since it likes to mislead travelers from its paths when they go for a walk through the forest.
Its arms and torso are similar to those of a human, and its head is covered by a dense bush, from which all its leaves disappear during the cold seasons in order to enter a dormant state.
Their horns are usually quite long, and depending on the longevity of the Leshy, they will have a greater or lesser length as well as a greater branching. The bark emerges from its arms and gradually covers its entire body until it becomes a complete plant, since roots emerge from its veins that end up covering all its skin.
Its legs are two sturdy tree trunks, with roots like feet.
He is the master of all the animals that live in the forest. Any movement of the animals is interpreted as a leshy command. Therefore, the hunters try to flatter him, so that he does not bother them when hunting. His favorite saying is "I have gone, I have found, I have lost." Baffling people is his favorite prank. If the leshy walks around a person, they become disoriented. The only way to avoid this spell is to put your clothes backwards until you get home. Also, lisovik like to scream in a terrible voice and whistle, scaring people.
The leshy is the protector of the forests. He usually kidnaps people and takes them there. When the abductees return to their homes they tend to become lazy people and grow grass instead of beards.
