| An Orcwort Tree, or whatever those are called, maybe?
At any rate, it sure makes a neat tree to use for terrain, if nothing else. For that reason alone, I'd take as many of them as I could get my hands on.
Hopefully it will have some nifty skirmish ability, like entangle or something. | |

| | It is sitting on one heck of a thick base if my eyes are correct... so what size does that make it? | |

| My guess was a "tree" creature of some kind. Looks like some corrupted Treant.
Don't have my books in front of me. Does that thing look anything like the Tendriculous? | |

| It's a wobbly tree! It's just what I always wanted. It looks like a medium, as well, from the base thickness. A Treantlette?

I think Twig Blights look more like a tangle of shrubs in a vaguely humanoid shape, but I'm not sure. Don't have the book on hand. | |

Nope - nothing like a Tendriculous, Big G. That critter looks nothing like a tree - more a greeny spitting toad-like shape. And it would be a huge - i.e. a very thin base. | |

Out of medium sized tress... maybe it they were huge or large, but the base looks to be medium. | |

| Looks like a 3.5 upgrade to the twig blight, can someone do a base scale comparison? Should be small I think...

I'm gonna have to agree. In fact, I like the look of this one better than the twig blight art. Hopefully it's a common! | |

| I really don't think it's a Twig Blight. I don't know for sure, but I don't remember twig blights being rooted into the ground. Even with an updated look, I doubt they would change that.
Also, it looks like it's a medium, it's just big on a medium base. | |

| Not sure if its a Twig Blight..It has no legs..It looks like a trunk.
The base makes it look like a small to me.
Can someone do me a favor?
I dont have access to the wizards boards from work.
Can someone go to the Art Gallery for the Monster Manual (NOT the MM 3.5 or the MM2) and find the black & white Todd Lockwood sketch of the Twig Blight?
Can you post it for us to see?
Thank you. | |
