Pohutukawa

While pōhutukawa normally refers to a genus of tree in the context of the Classic: Fantasy Bestiary the term refers to a unique intelligent, strong willed (Will+3), incorruptible Maori tree, 20-30 feet (6 – 12 m) tall, that guards the entrance to the underworld.
In the original story, baring orders from the god that created it, it is to allow no living person into the underworld, and no dead one out.
It is very powerful, striking with its limbs as if they were clubs. It is always vigilant.
