Granted, the connection "living-tree = nature themed faction" is pretty obvious, but the aforementioned sentence spells out a quality not present in many of the other answers (mine included) - this apex creature (typically) comes with a set of interests and agendas greater than just "I'm great - I shall rule over you". That's the added value I'm missing in the current phrasing. | |

Do you think it's really integral to the creature concept? I saw it more as "let me tell you about this specific NPC I like" than as a core feature of the type of creatures it's an example of. (Evil treants are a thing.) | |
| Aug 13, 2014 at 7:18 | comment | added | G0BLiN | @SevenSidedDie - the edited version of this answer seems to have lost the general idea presented by this sentence: "He's the kind of leader that can be confrontational with other non-evil faction without being unreasonable or evil himself, because of the whole nature thing." - Inspiration-wise, that was one of the better points of this answers IMO. Care to edit it back in? | |
