Whipping Willow

Creature 4 — elemental, plant, wood

These tall, thin figures are too treelike to be dryads, yet too humanoid to be arboreals. Their blank faces and thin trunks bear only the slightest suggestion of humanoid features. Rather than hands, their long, branchlike arms eventually split into equally proportioned branchlike digits, which the willows use both to fight and swing through their native plane.
