Animated Tree
From The Unofficial POWDER Wiki

Encyclopedia
While pedants are quick to point out that all trees are animate - one glance at the destruction wrought by the roots of an oak should settle the skeptical - those who have witnessed a true animate tree feel there is an important distinction between the slow inexorable growth of normal trees and these creatures. The most obvious difference is that it is a lot harder to run away from an animate tree!
There is good news for adventurers beset by tree problems. The animate trees are the result of a spell that hastens the natural life forces. When the spell's power is used up the trees will revert once again to the pleasant shade-giving plants one is used to.
