Slaughterpine

Slaughterpine

A slaughterpine is a majestic evergreen tree, roughly 20 meters in height, with remarkably sharp pine cones, that looks like a more conventional tree as a Poor Disguise. It has no hands. It has a ranged pine cone flinging attack, which deals 1d6+2 Physical damage (damage bonus included) and has a range of 80m/240m. If a creature is knocked unconscious by the slaughterpine's pine cone, the pine cone immediately begins to sprout from their body, dealing 1d6+2 Physical damage (damage bonus included) to the creature each turn: after 1 week, the pine cone has grown into a full slaughterpine tree. While in sprout form, pine cones have 1 HP, 5 AD, and 5 Toughness.

The slaughterpine is not particularly smart, and can only speak Vine languages.
