Notes

• Spawned during the mission "Daughter of a Knight" by examining the Humus-rich Earth at (E-6).
• Hits hard and relatively fast for a Treant. Because of this, a blink tank is recommended.
• Has very high accuracy, hitting even evasion-based jobs such as Thief and Ninja consistently.
• Has enhanced movement speed, making kiting difficult.
• Casts both White Magic (Cure III, Cure V, Protect IV, Shell IV, and Stoneskin) and Earth-based Black Magic (Break, Stonega III, and Stone IV).
• Uses enhanced Treant special attacks:

• Leafstorm dispels all positive status effects (including food) and gives a Slow effect equivalent to Slow I.
• Entangle drains HP equal to the damage dealt in addition to giving the Bind effect.

• Hightly susceptible to paralyze effects.
• Highly resistant or immune to silence, bind, and gravity effects.
• Rages after approximately 60 minutes.
• Can be defeated by a party of 6 characters at level 75. (see testimonials)
