()  ... You gaze upon an alien looking Treant of greenish-  ()
()  purple hue with dark-red eyes bulging from an exterior  ()
()    leafy mass that resembles a cornstalk. The literal    ()
()   trunk of this creature is fibrous with many branches   ()
()  extending outward like living tentacles. Large leaves   ()
()    adorn these appendages, ranging in colors from dark-  ()
()  green to a deep-purple, while the thicker central mass  ()
()  appears interwoven with several variations of emeralds  ()
()    and violets. Of the sensory features, only the wide   ()
()  eyes, which have no openings of the iris nor are they   ()
()     many-faceted, merely oval, protruding membranes ...  ()
()    translucent, revealing swirling gray matter deep      ()
()   within, can be seen. Gazing further down his roughly   ()
()   five-foot frame, four massive roots jut out from the   ()
()   base of his body at right angles to give him support   ()
()   and to allow him to move with dexterity and sureness.  ()
()  About his stumpy, thick growth, is a wide assortment of ()
()   armor, clothing, and other sundries, that have become  ()
()    embedded, allowed to be overgrown, into his nature.   ()
()    Other then these otherwordly distinctions, the only   ()
()   revealing and memorable aspect of his appearance is    ()
()  burn scars about his limbs and roots that time has yet  ()
()     to heal. Nothing else is apparent regarding this     ()
()    wayward Arborian, and his behavior and demeanor are   ()
()  naturally impossible to discern, fathom, or understand. ()
()                                                          ()
