What's so scary about Huorns is how primal they are. These are wild trees, not intelligent trees, like Ents, who could conceivably be reasoned with before they tore you apart. And a tree is a mighty thing, beyond human strength to fight off. Plus they
walk. So you can't just say no to walks in the wildwood to avoid them...
Same thing with Old Man Willow....
By the way, the shaved tarantula emerged again last night and I caught it but it escaped because I was fool enough not to realise even a monster spider could escape via the 'lip' on an upturned jug
However, I think the cat may have been hunting it this morning so it might have been eaten by now....
