All-Tree

All-Tree first appears in Book 5 as an ancient, colossal guardian whose roots carpet the entire forest floor and whose outcroppings act as living shields, absorbing and reflecting magic for every forest creature regardless of alignment. Its indiscriminate protection forces both crawlers and hunters to adapt their tactics, turning the battlefield into a constantly shifting maze of living barriers. Though individual outcroppings can be destroyed, the tree’s regenerative power ensures the defenses are never permanently eliminated, making it one of the most persistent environmental hazards in the dungeon.
