The Badass Tree Tribe started when Cower AKA Spiderman had created a beast no one else had yet created. It was the ultimate thane in his day. At the time morphing was still being experimented on so much of what Cower had done had never been seen before. He had morphed an Animated Tree...
However as funny as that sounds this tree was no ordinary tree, this tree was a morph from the depths of the cave. Cower had already played with fate morphing with several other monsters after they had morphed him. This in turn allowed Cower the ability to morph the monster in return to gain their natural abilities without losing his.
Though this ancient technique worked for Cower it may not work current day. Eventually Cower had created a Flying, Regenerating, Ugly, Flaming, Stoning, Poisoning, Siren Singing, Quaking, Super Hero Wizard, Bloodsucking tree! He also came equipped with Super Hero Damage Only, all the protections you could think of. This made Cower pretty much invincible. He even had portage allowing him to carry weapons and an hourglass.
As he ran around thinking of new things to do he eventually recruited one and only one apprentice. Putting him through the trials to test if he was worthy he eventually made Cleric the one and only other member of the Bad Ass Tree tribe.
Not too long after, Cower defeated Grendel but stayed in the free kingdom until the end of his days in retirement enjoying the peace he had created.
