In the days of the Old Forests, the trees each held a fraction of the forest’s power in trust, passing it on to seedlings and eventually to the earth. But when the woods began to be felled, the trees would sometimes pool their power and grow a champion to defend their lands from loggers. Made in the same general shape as their enemy, these beings were terrible to behold, easily brushing off most assaults and even persisting through fire due to their dense wood. It was not until the advent of modern explosives that such creatures could be brought down, and even then they are often able to complete their attack and escape. Luckily, few forests can match the Old Forests in these latter days, so sightings are rare and attacks even rarer.

High Inquisitor’s Note:
While ordinarily an implacable enemy of mankind, the Woodfoe will join forces against a greater threat, as the participation of three Woodfoes in the Containment of the Fire Count shows.
