INNER WARD SECOND FLOOR 55C THE CURSED TREE.

55C THE CURSED TREE. This grey splotchy tree appears dead. It has the shape of a gnarled man, twisted and stunted, but if approached it will attack.

Horrid Tree Monster (AC 5; MV 3”; HD 5; hp 24; #AT 2 claw-like branches; D 2-8/2-8; SA Blood drain; Size M; XP 250)

If the tree man strikes a man-sized or smaller opponent with both branches, thorns will embed themselves in the victims flesh and drain blood for an additional 3-8 (1d6+2) points of damage automatically. When struck it bleeds red blood and when killed its gives off a strangely man-like groan.
