Many tree horror comics draw inspiration from folklore and mythology surrounding trees. Celtic mythology often features tree spirits or dryads that can be benevolent or malevolent. Norse mythology has stories of Yggdrasil, the world tree, with connections to fate and cosmic power. Various cultures have stories of vengeful tree spirits or cursed forests. These myths provide a rich source of inspiration for creators, allowing them to explore themes of ancient powers, natural justice, and the dangers of disrespecting nature.
