Official Profile
An evil wood spirit appearing in Germany's Scharzwald. He charms people and leads them to their deaths. His name means "Alder King", and true to his name, he is the ruler of the alders of the Black Forest. Alder trees tend to begin life in places with damp soil, but can grow in even the most barren environments. It is said that the Erlkonig is the strongest of the alder trees. Humans who encroached upon his forest were cleverly charmed and led to their deaths, which gave rise to tales of a demonic tree brimming with evil.
