False Appearance. While the bonsai treant remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a small potted tree.
Multiattack. The bonsai treant makes two slam attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft.,one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage.
Animate Shrub (1/Day). The bonsai treant magically animates one shrub it can see within 30 feet of it. These shrubs have the same statistics as an awakened shrub, except they have Intelligence and Charisma scores of 1, and they can't speak. An animated shrub acts as an ally of the bonsai treant. The shrub remains animated for 1 hour or until it dies, until the bonsai treant dies or is more than 120 feet from the shrub, or until the bonsai treant takes a bonus action to turn it back into an inanimate shrub. The shrub then takes root if possible.
Description
Cultivated in monastic temples and exotic nurseries, these garden guardians are only a fraction of a normal treant's size. The difficult and lengthy process of creating bonsai treants is a testament to the patience of those who create them. Despite their diminutive nature, bonsai treants are just as bold and caring as the forest-dwelling titans.
Hidden Protectors. Bonsai treants are content with the bodies they've been given and are capable of empathizing with the patience of their masters. They choose to wander temples and gardens, fostering life new and old throughout the halls. If an intruder threatens their home, they do their best to thwart the invasion or alert their masters.
Insightful Allies. Rarely, these companions can be gifted or sold by their creators. New friends will be quick to discover the creatures' gentle yet zealous passion for life. If an ally disagrees with this perspective, or shows cruel intentions toward others, bonsai treants have been known to simply escape to nearby forests.
