About this model
A large dead tree with a stout trunk and a wide spread of bare, twisted branches. It is about 23 ft by 23 ft and 26.5 ft tall, covering roughly five squares by five. Its branches spread wide and low, twisting like grasping fingers.
Use it as a landmark in a haunted forest, a cursed swamp, a graveyard or a blasted battlefield. It sets a grim tone. The trunk offers full cover and the branches can be climbed. Nothing else on the map draws the eye like a tree this size.
Ideas for the table
- A great dead tree marks the entrance to a hag's lair.
- A banshee wails from the branches of the dead tree.
- The party must cut down the dead tree to end the curse on the land.
