These fearsome protectors of the wild can most usually be found where the borders between the material realm and the Feywild are their weakest. Those who are unfortunate enough to find these crossings rarely survive long enough to tell the tales of these steadfast guardians.
Standing at anywhere between ten and fifteen feet tall, these hulking natural war machines sport long sharp claws formed at its creation alongside thick bark plating mimicking the appearance of manmade armor.
Eternal Watchers. Having spent generations watching over the borders between realms, some fey spirits come to realize that intimidation and misdirection aren't always enough to keep the inquisitive and dangerous things away. These spirits bring the wrath of the natural world to life in its most blunt way, by possessing a tree and shaping it into a living suit of armor, giving the spirit the unique opportunity to show intruders the strength of nature.
Wrath and fury. Once the infusion between spirit and tree is done, these fearsome creatures can never again return to rest. They have sworn themselves to an eternity as the realms guardians, an endless responsibility which has driven many of these creatures to become less empathetic to the plight of those who wander into their territory. The spirit is able to channel some of its fey energy in the forms of beams of natural energy, often catching those who keep their distance unawares. They will often strike first, with savage bestial ferocity, any sense of the light-hearted spirit within long since lost.
