Hanami

Half tree, half something that used to be humanoid, Hanami speaks softly about protecting nature while doing everything possible to end the people trampling it. Its Disaster Verdure makes it slower and less battle-hungry than its special grade peers, but no less dangerous once it’s dug in.

Traits

Cursed Manifestation. Only creatures that can sense cursed energy can perceive or harm Hanami. It is exorcised when reduced to 0 hit points.

Reinforcement. While it has cursed energy remaining, Hanami adds +3 to its AC, saving throws, and damage rolls.

Actions

Multiattack. Hanami makes two Root Fist attacks and uses Piercing Roots or Binding Plants.

Root Fist. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (3d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage.

Piercing Roots (3 Cursed Energy). Hanami rips a bunch of roots from the ground toward its foes. Each creature in a 50-foot line makes a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 33 (6d10) piercing damage on a failure, or half as much on a success.

Binding Plants (2 Cursed Energy). One creature Hanami can see within 30 feet must succeed on a DC 18 Strength saving throw or be restrained by grasping plants. It can repeat the save at the start of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Flower Field (10 Cursed Energy, 1/day). Hanami releases a wave of petals in a 30-foot radius within 100 feet of it. Each creature there must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or lose all will to fight for 1 minute, unable to take hostile actions and granting advantage to attacks against it. This ends early if the creature is attacked, forced to save, or succeeds on a Wisdom save at the start of its turn.

Reactions

Wall of Roots (1 Cursed Energy). When Hanami or a creature within 30 feet is targeted by an attack, Hanami raises a 10-foot-tall, 5-foot-wide wall of roots (26 hit points, AC 15) to block it.
