Once Human Unveils New Enemies: Morphic Trees and Sea Rabbits Arrive March 26
Once Human new enemies Morphic Trees and Sea Rabbits bring unique threats and rewards in the March 26, 2026 Nalcott update.
Recent reconnaissance reports from the depths of Nalcott have brought unsettling news: unknown creatures are appearing with increasing frequency. In a public document released by the Once Human Development Team, details of two new enemies set to arrive with the March 26, 2026 version update have been revealed. These foes—Morphic Trees and Sea Rabbits—lurk in dense forests and the deep sea, respectively, each employing unique survival strategies and posing distinct threats. Metas are urged to prepare themselves.
🌳 Morphic Trees: Masters of Disguise
As Stardust's influence over Nalcott grows, many trees have become deviated, gaining human traits. Though weak in combat, Morphic Trees are masters of disguise. They use Stardust to cause aural and visual hallucinations in their prey, whom they ultimately transform into one of their kind.
Morphic Trees usually look like regular trees, only revealing themselves when chopped. Its upper body is composed of wire-like "branches" and a "face," while its lower body is a normal tree trunk. On the whole, it resembles a human being waving its arms.
They retain basic arboreal characteristics: they do not move and typically remain disguised as a regular tree. Frequently, they disperse Stardust energy into the vicinity, inducing hallucinations in nearby organisms. Prolonged exposure to these hallucinations will transform affected organisms into Morphic Trees. Research shows that Morphic Trees will corrupt surrounding trees, forming a "grove" that lures prey into chopping them down. In reality, this "grove" is the Morphic Tree's hunting ground, and stepping into it means grave danger.
Surviving the Grove
Do not panic if you have entered a Morphic Tree's "grove." Continue chopping down the trees in the "grove." In the resultant hallucinations, you will perceive the trees as humanoids facing a particular direction, pointing you toward the Morphic Tree itself. After chopping down enough trees and following their directions, you will uncover the Morphic Tree. Quickly find it and defeat it to escape danger.
⚠️ Warning: Every tree you chop down will worsen your hallucinations. If you fail to find the Morphic Tree even after felling many trees, you will be trapped forever as a member of its "grove."
Upon defeating the Morphic Tree, its "grove" will perish as well, yielding a large amount of wood and special rewards. This is a highly efficient way to gather wood, but it is strongly advised to conduct a risk assessment before proceeding.
🐰 Sea Rabbits: Deceptively Dangerous
As Stardust seeps into the ocean, even marine ecosystems have shown signs of deviation. In the deep sea, a new species has recently been observed, strongly resembling a sea hare. Hence its name: Sea Rabbit.
Sea Rabbits are shaped like kiwi fruits. Gray and white in color, they have three pairs of fins for movement, and a pair of protrusions resembling rabbit ears. Its mouth also resembles a hare's lip, but its tail is most clearly deviated, having been completely replaced by a propeller-like organ.
Though seemingly docile, Sea Rabbits retain basic defensive instincts. When an enemy approaches, a Sea Rabbit will quickly shift into an aggressive form, baring its razor-sharp teeth and visually complex oral cavity in an attempt to bite its target.
They retain the habits of their original organisms. When relaxed, a Sea Rabbit moves at a leisurely pace, languidly foraging along the sea bed. However, if an enemy comes too close, it will quickly turn hostile, aggressively pursuing and biting the intruder until they leave its territory.
The Bite and Its Cure
Sea Rabbits have poor eyesight and nearly no sense of hearing. Often, they cannot even detect nearby enemies. Nevertheless, if provoked, a Sea Rabbit will attack immediately, lunging at its target, biting their head, and refusing to let go. Though the Sea Rabbit's bite is relatively harmless, it injects a special toxin that causes the victim to lose their bearings and move in the opposite direction to their intention.
Curing this ailment is not difficult. As Sea Rabbits are marine organisms, they will loosen their jaws once they leave seawater, or when exposed to high temperatures. They can also be removed by teammates if available.
📊 Quick Comparison
| Feature | Morphic Tree | Sea Rabbit |

| Combat | Weak, but deceptive | Aggressive when provoked |
| Reward | Wood, special rewards | Unknown (avoid if possible) |
| Counter | Chop trees, follow directions, defeat it | Remove from water/heat, teammate help |
🛡️ Preparation for Metas
That concludes all the intel on the new enemies. What new challenges and storms these foes will bring is something the Metas must explore firsthand!
