Ecology
Cactid is a flora given will and motion, often a guardian of specific groves or a corruption of an existing tree species. It is most often found in desert regions. It is large-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Cactid is slow but inexorable, defending its grove or pursuing a hidden purpose only its kind understand. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it.
Origin
Cactid is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
