Withered Sprout

Withered Sprout (やせ細りモヤシ, Yasehosori moyashi) was a Tiger-level monster. The Surly Brothers estimated the monster's disaster level to be Dragon. He was killed by Saitama.

Appearance
Withered Sprout was a short and skinny monster with thin arms and legs, and had an overall weak appearance.

Personality
Withered Sprout acted weak in order to trick heroes into thinking that they could easily defeat him. He acted timidly, but showed his true personality once he had shown his true power. His true personality was being intent on killing heroes and using sneak attacks to defeat them, displaying a rather pathetic and cowardly side to him. He would lie in order to get heroes by surprise.

Disaster Level
Withered Sprout is seen in Z-City when the Surly Brothers show up. Withered Sprout pretends to be scared and was attacked by one of Angry Man's attacks, but quickly freezes him. Withered Sprout still acts weak, but manages to defeat Crying Man and Smile Man. Saitama later passes by and Withered Sprouts acts weak, but uses a sneak attack on him. After Saitama easily breaks his glaciers, he attacks him again only to be killed by Saitama's punch.

Abilities and Power
As estimated to be a Dragon-level threat, Withered Sprout is a powerful monster. He was able to easily defeat the Surly Brothers, which included the A-Class hero Smile Man.

Supernatural Abilities
Ice Manipulation: Withered Sprout had an extremely potent cold touch in which he was able to easily freeze objects or heroes by surprise. He was able to freeze the Surly Brothers and their weapons with little effort. He was later able to freeze Saitama, though the hero was able to easily break free and defeat the monster. The power is not limited to objects or beings, as the surrounding area was also frozen when Saitama arrived.

Trivia
