Description
These spindly creatures are composed entirely of bits of wood and leaves and are animated by magic. They are weak and fragile, but easy for Dryad Nature Mages to summon in great numbers. The Drays use them as foot soldiers and bodyguards -- the first line of defense against their enemies. As with any summoned creature, their power depends upon the strength of the made that summoned them. Many adventurers have rushed into battle against a frail-looking Braken Defender, only to be cut down by their claws.
