A dark-hearted shadow haunts the forest deep, moving silently through the wood, indistinguishable from the trees themselves.

Quickroot stalks his prey silently, picking them off one by one if possible. He goes for stragglers first. If discovered, Quickroot attacks openly, using Power Attack and Vital Strike to inflict as much damage as possible and animating trees to flank his opponents. He thrives on fear and makes an Intimidate check at the start of combat.

Appearing as a tree of the most common type encountered in whatever woodland he calls home, Quickroot can be identified as having a vaguely humanoid shape with a successful Perception check against his Stealth check. He seems gnarled, almost twisted, with long branch-like fingers. His eyes are jet-black pools that reflect no light.

Old. Angry. Silent. Vengeful. Quickroot despises animal life, humanoids especially. If ever coaxed into speech, his voice is like the hissing of wind through leaves.

There is little to say about Quickroot's past. He is an angry force of nature, his only goal to stalk and kill all trespassers in his woods.

Author's Note: Quickroot can be used in any forest in any climate.
