Live OakThis large plant monster looks like a dead but still standing tree until it begins to move, a wicked face opening up on its side as it uses its roots to walk towards its victims, its branches flailing for their heads like grasping limbs. Sometimes also known as a “crawler,” but it’s not a worm at all…– Imban

 SPECIAL ABILITIES

Electrapulse (Su)

Once every 1d3 rounds as a standard action, a live oak can pulse forth deadly electricity towards a single target within 60 ft., dealing 8d6 lightning damage and inflicting the Static status as though from a 5th-level spell, as well as a -5 penalty to all magical damage and healing, for 1d6 rounds. A DC 19 Reflex save halves the damage and negates both status effects.

Poison (Ex)

Creatures hit by a live oak’s slam attack must make a DC 20 Fortitude save or suffer the Poison status, except it deals 2d6 damage per round instead, for 1d8 rounds.

Treespeech (Ex)

A man plant has the ability to converse with plants as if subject to a continual speak with plants spell, and most plants greet them with an attitude of friendly or helpful.
