Treant

While treants are guardians and protectors of the wild, a ward bark treant is nature’s reckoning. The ward bark treants come into being from normal treants dwelling in or near a site of druidic power. A druidic scared grove, the burial mound of a powerful druid, or near the enchanted grove of a unicorn that was slain grants the treant greater powers. While ward bark treants still endeavor to fulfill their duties as guardians and protectors of the wilds, they also hunt down and utterly destroy any who would despoil or misuse natures bounties. If some reason numerous treants take up arms, there will always be a few ward bark treants amongst them.
