The Nariphon is a tree that appears in the Himaphan, a mythical forest. The exact origin of this entity is unclear.
The Nariphon takes on a human-like form, with its fruit being young female creatures attached by their head from the tree branches. The physical appearance of the tree itself is not described in detail.
There's no direct information about the abilities or behaviors of the Nariphon. However, Gandharvas (male beings in Buddhist mythology) cut the fruits and take them away, suggesting some interaction between these entities.
