Coiled Conifer

This bent and slithering entity is barely identifiable as a tree. Tentacle-like roots extend from its trunk in odd places, meeting tumorous knots filled with caustic sap.

Blight Bonded

Source Pathfinder #203 Shepherd of Decay pg. 80
The Plane of Wood contains many unique ecosystems formed around species of wondrous trees; when Ayrzul's Blight mutates one of these trees rather than killing it, it can have a cascading effect on the tree's biome. Multiple species often mutate in tandem, becoming warped mockeries and a vector for Ayrzul's Blight. These “blight bonded” creature families are parasites and predators and typically form twisted symbiotic relationships.

Oozing maples leak toxic sap that transforms entire regions into swampy wastes where the multiheaded reaping herons thrive. The herons use their scythe-like beaks to eviscerate prey and feed the guts to the maples, ensuring the production of the viscous ooze they use to nourish their young.
