Trees are a faction comprised of tall, woody plants crowned with leaves. While trees can be found across all of Qud as living scenery, the mutated plants that make up this faction are mostly confined to the banana grove surrounding Omonporch.

Legendary trees are interested in trading secrets about sultan lore. Many of them are long-lived enough to have personally witnessed the reigns of sultans. For example, Mayor Haddas of the villagers of Ezra was alive during the fourth sultanate, and recounts to the player character the relationship the Eaters had with the "star-tree" while it was still open and active.

Combat Overview

As with almost all plant creatures, trees are rooted in place and punish creatures who approach them. Of all of Qud's foliage, however, trees have exceptional strength; irritable palms use their strength to Slam creatures, sending them flying into other trees, while red death daccas use theirs to pull creatures into themselves, bleeding out their prey. The banana grove where these sentient trees live is flooded with occluding, non-sentient trees, making it far easier for unwary travelers to stumble into them.
