Withered Sprout

Withered Sprout (やせ細りモヤシ, Yasehosori moyashi) was a Dragon-level threat who was originally thought to be a Wolf-level threat.

Appearance
Withered Sprout is small and skinny sprout with thin arms and legs, and has an overall weak appearance.

Personality
Withered Sprout acts weak in order to trick heroes into thinking that they could easily defeat him. He acts timid, but shows his true personality once he has shown his true power. His true personality is being intent on killing heroes and using sneak attacks to defeat them, displaying a rather pathetic and cowardly side to him. He will 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 an A-Class hero.

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