Ecology
Jinmenju 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 forest regions. It is huge-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights. As a legendary creature, it is rare in the world and likely the only specimen of its kind in the local region.
Behaviour
Jinmenju 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.
Origin
Jinmenju is introduced in Kobold Press's Creature Codex (2018). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
