Tristelle Trees are uncommon, but feared, creatures of the Poison Forest. A Tristelle Tree is small and scrubby, easy to miss in the mass of plants (Observation or Survival resisted by 15), but can be deadly for any passing close. The tree lives by draining blood from those nearby through it's straggly thorn covered branches. Any creature that comes within 5 paces of it and brushes these tendrils (use an attack roll only if the player noticed the tree) is struck by a paralyzing energy. They must roll Spirit or be frozen in their tracks. The tendrils will then inflict D10 Fatigue per round. Multiple targets can be paralyzed, but only one can be drained at a time. The tree will react violently to attack by naked flame, drawing in it's tendrils rapidly.
Tristelle Trees sprout large gourd-like fruit with sweet scented pulp. These attract prey to the tree, making it easier for the Tristelle to feed. Some small jungle lizards are immune to the tree's energy, and feed on these fruit with impunity.
