TREANTS

Plant

Forgotten Realms

A Treant was a huge intelligent plant.
Any treant that rooted itself in a stand containing a particular sort of tree for at least a year could, over a tenday or so, alter themselves to resemble and possess the physical properties of that type of tree. Certain elder treants were capable of doing this within half a tenday. Although a treant's wood appeared to be solid like stone, it was filled with tubes that carried water from its roots to the areas where it was needed. Diseases such as tube wilt could affect these tubes and therefore the health of the treant.
