The Forest King is a large, monstrous tree creature, standing several stories high. He has what appears to be another face in his abdomen and is covered in thick branches that serve as limbs. His own face features five pitch-black eyes and a mouth filled with hole-like openings.[2]
Personality[]
The Forest King regards humans as little more than fertilizer necessary for his plan to restore the lost greenery to Earth.[2]
Plot[]
Neo Heroes Saga[]
Neo Heroes Introduction Arc[]
After multiple heroes from the Hero Association fight against and harm his followers, the Forest King himself confronts the heroes, easily defeating and capturing them. Just as he is about to feed them as fertilizer to his kind, Genos arrives and annihilates his entire army before proceeding to defeat the Forest King himself.[2]
Abilities and Powers[]
As a Dragon-level threat, the Forest King was very powerful, capable of single-handedly defeating many professional heroes from the Hero Association, including the S-Class hero Tanktop Master, with little to no effort. The heroes found themselves impotent against him.[2] However, Genos, equipped with new upgrades following the Monster Association incident, was able to eradicate the Forest King.

Immense Durability: The Forest King possesses remarkable toughness, being durable enough to withstand a powerful tackle from Tanktop Master without sustaining visible damage.
