Forms

Forest

The forest spawn is a mass of pine saplings, vines and soil woven into a vaguely humanoid form and crowned with a mane of leaves. A leaf-green glow seeps from between the tightly bound foliage and though eyeless, the creature surveys the area with an air of intelligence. It is holding a rather large, sharpened pine limb in its grip.
The vines and leaves composing the forest spawn slowly unravel and recede into the forest.

Water

A leaf-green wave of light ripples outward from you. The vegetation within the water awakens and stirs in response to your call. Strands of kelp, small shells and sand compact together, coalescing into a humanoid spawn that rises from the water and readies itself for battle.

The kelp and sand composing the water spawn slowly recede back into the water.

Grassy
