Awakened tree

An awakened tree was simply put a mundane tree that possessed some form of intelligence, often by means of the awaken spell or other magic.
==Abilities==
When an awakened tree remained still, it appeared as if it were an ordinary, unremarkable tree of its type.
They were granted the ability to speak the language of their creator.
They were well-protected against attacks from bludgeons or weapons with a piercing edge, but were especially vulnerable to being harmed by fire.
==Combat==
Awakened trees slammed their foes in combat.
==History==
Circa the late 15 century DR, one awakened tree remained within the garden of the Temple of the Restful Lilly. It was kept by the evil hag, Vile Sazha.
Around that same time, coniferous awakened trees were sometimes witnessed accompanying frost druids that dwelled in the wilderness of Icewind Dale.
==Notable Awakened Trees==
* Hallastree, the personal usher of Wyllow, an apprentice to Halaster Blackcloak with her own domain in Undermountain.
* Lifferlas, the longest-living resident of Goldenfields as of the late 1480s DR.
