Personality[]

Sprouts True Colors — Withered Sprout shows his true colors

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.

Ice Manipulation: Withered Sprout had an extremely potent cold touch in which he could 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. This power is not limited to objects or beings, as the surrounding area was also frozen when Saitama arrived.

Trivia[]

Jumping Spider and Withered Sprout are the only Mysterious Beings who were officially considered with three different disaster levels.
- He was first considered to be a Wolf-level threat, due to his cowardly nature and weak looking appearance.
- He was considered a Tiger-level threat by the Hero Association after being defeated instead of a higher threat level in order to prevent "destroying the balance of the pro hero world".
- He was suggested and considered to be a Dragon-level threat by a Hero Association staff member and Smile Man, but not officially registered as one.
