Kind: Summon, place
Mana: 120
Cooldown: 60s
Range: 8 tiles
Price: 6,400 gold
Needs first: Yeti Warden, Bison Stampede

What it does

Raises a spectral treant (L body, Bond 3) on open ground within 8 tiles for 40 s; it is rooted and never walks. HP x1.3, armour 14, damage x0.8; its slam stuns. Every 4 s it calls (taunt, 6 tiles, 3 s). Three sporelings (spectral mushroom-folk: S bodies, no Bond, counted as bodies) sprout round it and fight within 4 tiles of it (HP x0.5, damage x0.6, poison); a sporeling that unravels bursts into a 1.5-tile spore cloud for 4 s (focusRoll x0.15 poison per 0.5 s tick). Your hero, companions and summons within 4 tiles regenerate 1.5% of max health per second.
