Entling
Entlings are rarely seen outside of the deep forests, but occasionally a sapling will uproot itself to
see the world before it grows more treelike. These creatures appear roughly humanoid, with
bark-like skin, leaves and branches sprouting in various places reflecting the type of tree they
sprouted from. Most other creatures find them to be inscrutible, and overly patient.
