Notes
A dense low bramble, gray-brown and unremarkable at a distance. The thorns are the length of a finger, hooked backward, and hard enough to turn a blade that meets one square.
Grows fast and dense. The thorns catch, and every movement to get free sets them deeper, so a person caught in a thicket alone and unable to cut clear will bleed out over hours.
Fire is the only reliable answer. Cutting works and takes a long while.
