The adult is described by Nico as having a symbiotic relationship with the tree, but the hatchlings are extremely destructive, voraciously devouring sections of the root system if they can find a suitable point to enter it. At least one full-grown adult Nidhogg attaches to the root system when the Qliphoth sprouts in Red Grave City, and a large number of immature hatchlings are dotted around the city close to weak points of the roots. It is also the host of a parasitic species called the Nidhogg. The Qlipthoth has a symbiotic relationship with a species of demons called Empusa, ant-like monstrosities which are sent out to slaughter humans and bring their blood back to the tree's root system. When fully manifested, the tree possesses the power to fuse the Human World and the Demon World into one whole. As a tree born in the Underworld, it is the inverse of trees from the mortal plane: the Qliphoth's branches are located deep beneath the ground, while its thorny roots grow up to the surface and eventually into the sky. The Qliphoth thrives on human blood, and those whose blood it sucks are turned into lifeless husks. Cut off from its source of nourishment, the tree did not produce fruit for two thousand years. Formerly the Qliphoth was prevented from manifesting in the Human World by the seal placed by Sparda. Trish states the last being to consume the fruit was Mundus, and in doing so he became King of the Underworld. Only one fruit can grow every few thousand years. According to V, the Qliphoth is a giant demonic tree that grows in the Underworld and, when sufficiently nourished, grows a fruit that imbues any demon that consumes it with divine power.
