Leaf Leshy
Level 0Attacks
Abilities
When a leaf leshy dies, a burst of primal energy explodes from their body, restoring 1d4 healing to each plant creature in a 30-foot area. 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.
The leaf leshy transforms into a Small tree. This ability otherwise uses the effects of One with Plants.
When a leaf leshy hits with their seedpod Strike, the pod explodes loudly. The target must attempt a DC 16 fortitude save.

Success The target is unaffected.
Failure The target is Deafened for 1 round.
Critical Failure The target is deafened for 1 minute.
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.
Leaf leshies are diminutive protectors of forests clad in armor and hats made of fruit, flowers, or leaves. They enjoy mock battles but act cautiously in real ones.
Leshies are intelligent plant creatures who guard areas of primeval wilderness or earthly power. Originally created by powerful fey, they manifest when a skilled practitioner of primal magic—typically a druid—combines a nature spirit with a body carefully grown and crafted from local vegetation. The rites and materials required to create a leshy vary depending on the type of leshy. They are typically given life in an area of great natural significance, such as an arboreal's grove, a druidic circle, a fairy ring, or a great natural wonder.
