A treant is an 18’ tall, intelligent creature which looks like a tree. It is concerned only with the protection of forests and plant life. Treants speak a slow and difficult tongue, and distrust those who use fire. Although normal weapons can harm them, blunt weapons (such as maces) only inflict 1 point of damage per hit (plus magic and strength bonuses). All encounters with treants begin at a distance of 30 yards or less, since they are nearly identical to normal trees, and they surprise on a roll of 1-3 (on ld6). Each treant can animate any two trees within 60’ to move at 30’ per turn and fight as treants. A treant may change which trees it is animating from round to round.
