False Appearance
If the watchwood tree is motionless at the start of combat, it has advantage on its initiative roll. Moreover, if a creature hasn't observed the watchwood tree move or act, that creature must succeed on a DC 18 Intelligence (Investigation) check to discern that the watchwood tree isn't an ordinary tree.
Unruly Earth
The ground within a 15-foot radius centered on the watchwood tree is considered difficult terrain for all creatures besides the watchwood tree.
Actions
Root Slam
Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage.
Watching Eye (Recharge 6)
The terrifying gaze of a watchwood tree can leave a creature frozen in its tracks. Each creature of the watchwood tree's choice within a 15-foot cone must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or become restrained; a creature that can't be frightened automatically succeeds on its saving throw. The watchwood tree can then immediately make a Root Slam attack against each creature that failed its saving throw. A creature restrained in this way can use its action to make a DC 12 Wisdom check, freeing itself on a success.

description
Appearing as one of the island's many deciduous trees, the watchwood is known for terrorizing small settlements and villages throughout the Gift of Shuritashi. Their presence alone is enough to stop trade and travel to a location, which is why skilled woodcutters are often employed all over the island. Though watchwood trees can be dangerous, they're more of a threat during the warmer seasons, as they're easily spotted during the winter, when they're the only tree with leaves still on it.
