Uniquely vampiric plants with a hungering cunning, bloodoaks form through dark rituals when plant matter absorbs animal blood. The rituals that create these horrors are relatively easy to learn and implement, so cultists and unscrupulous mages often use bloodoaks as bodyguards and sentinels.

Bloodoak Host

By taking a humanoid corpse and a stake fashioned from the wood of a bloodoak bramble, then pounding the stake through the corpse’s heart, a bloodoak host is born. Thorny brambles stretch through the creature’s limbs, animating it with dark purpose.
