	—Description of operations featuring the Twigs That Crave

The "Twigs That Crave" is a static device in Arknights. It is an odd-looking object resembling the trunk of a dead tree which houses a hibernating Nachzehrer warrior within who will emerge from it when the Twigs take too much damage or all hostiles but those inside the Twigs have fallen, and emits an aura of death and decay to the vicinity.

Twigs That Crave continuously expels Corruption around it and will also intermittently inflict Necrosis Damage build-up to nearby friendly units once its HP falls below 50%. When the Twigs is destroyed, a Rot Eater will spawn on where it used to be; the Twigs will self-destruct (and spawn the Rot Eater) anyway once all other enemies are defeated.
