Many long and numer-ous broad black roots spread out aroundits base like a thick mat of seaweed; theseroots are mobile and can propel the treewith great speed across the surface ofthe water. The tree’s branches are long,thick tentacles covered with tiny,sharp, dark green leaves. Hidden inthe base of the tree’s trunk justbelow the water is a large mawfilled with teeth.Octopus trees are rightfullyfeared by sailors, for these ter-rible plants command powerfulmagical abilities that allow themto wreak havoc on wooden ships.Many large groves of octopustrees have the skeletons ofships lodged among theirroots, and many explorersand treasure seekershave been lured to theirdoom in these danger-ous groves.Octopus trees under-stand Common, but theylack the body parts necessaryfor speech.
