Verdant Burst (healing, primal, vitality) When a leaf leshy dies, a burst of primal energy explodes from their body, restoring 1d4 Hit Points to each plant creature in a 30-foot emanation. This area is filled with tree saplings, becoming difficult terrain.

If the terrain is not a viable environment for these trees, they wither after 24 hours.

Speed
25 feet, glide

Melee ◆ longspear +3 (reach 10 feet), Damage 1d8-1 piercing

Ranged ◆ seedpod +6, Damage 1d6 bludgeoning plus Deafening Blow

Primal Innate Spells DC 14, attack +6; Constant (3rd) speak with plants (trees only)

Change Shape ◆ (concentrate, polymorph, primal) The leaf leshy transforms into a Small tree. This ability otherwise uses the effects of One with Plants.

Deafening Blow When a leaf leshy hits with their seedpod Strike, the pod explodes loudly. The target must attempt a DC 16 Fortitude save.

Critical Success The target is unaffected and temporarily immune for 24 hours.

Success The target is unaffected.

Failure The target is Deafened for 1 round.

Critical Failure The target is deafened for 1 minute.

Glide ◆ (move) The leshy glides gently through the air, moving 5 feet toward the ground and up to 25 feet forward. As long as the leshy spends at least 1 action gliding each round, they remain in the air at the end of each turn. For the purpose of determining damage from falls, a leaf leshy always treats falls as if they were 20 feet shorter.
