The Tree is a plant-like organism found on the borderworld Xen that attacks living beings that move too close.
Overview[edit]
A brownish tree-like creature with no leaves or branches, the Tree somewhat resembles an upturned root and in that regard is similar to the Tentacle. Towering at around 13 to 16 ft tall (4 to 5 m), it has a fully mobile "trunk", and a large, hook-like appendage at the top, used for attacking nearby prey.
Trees are scattered around Xen and can prove a danger to an unwary explorer and other Xen wildlife by violently stabbing at any nearby source of movement. However, they do not attack the Gonarch.[1]
Trivia[edit]
The Tree is similar to the Butcher Tree from the 1990 book Expedition by Wayne Douglas Barlowe.
