Ecology
Garlicle 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 farmland regions. It is small-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Garlicle is slow but inexorable, defending its grove or pursuing a hidden purpose only its kind understand. Its Chaotic Neutral alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.
Origin
Garlicle is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 2 (2020). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
