Grass Goliath

The Event has not been kind to Ai. Creatures and persons of every sort imaginable have been dropped onto Ai, only to leave a path of destruction and chaos in their wake. And perhaps worst of all, Ai's children and guardians, the L'na, have been taken in turn. Several L'na have just disappeared from the surface of Ai. Ai has begun to fight back. In need of natural defenses and defenders from the "unnatural" invaders that plague it, Ai has begun to create a new race of L'na, sentinels made from the raw elements, who can guard Ai and actively fight back invaders. This is one of them...

The Grass Goliath is one of the first sentinels to be created by Ai. Composed of plant materials, the Grass Goliath draws its strength from Ai itself. Genderless, and apparently sentient, various sentinels of various elements have been seen all over Ai. Where as each L'na has a unique magical aura, these sentinels have arcane auras almost identical to Ai itself. Where the L'na are capable, although not likely, to act against Ai, these sentinels are incapable of doing anything to harm Ai.

A typical Grass Goliath can stand anywhere from 10 to 40 ft. tall and can weigh several tons (reports of larger ones are not uncommon, however). The Grass Goliath does not need to eat, but if it has exerted itself in combat, it will need a substantial amount of water. The Grass Goliath is, in most cases, a gentle giant, until it discerns that a particular individual or creature is harming Ai. The Grass Goliath is a dangerous combatant, if not from sheer size alone, then from its large, hard, wooden claws or lashing vine-like tail. The Grass Goliath also possesses arcane powers that allow it to manipulate surrounding plant life to its advantage. On more than one occasion, an opponent has found itself restricted by vines, choked by mold, or tripped by roots.

The Grass Goliaths presence can be noted by the abundance of plant life that surrounds it, even where plant life has never existed before. The Grass Goliath also leaves behind a yellow/green spore-like powder where ever it passes. If left in place, these spores will grow into a green moss like substance, and then grow into a vine-like flowering plant.

Tactics: The Grass Goliath is an extremely strong opponent, but can be dealt with handily with fire, ice, or electricity. The Grass Goliath itself is slow, but is extremely strong and possesses regenerative qualities. It will often attack with its claws and tail, but will not hesitate to manipulate the plant life around it to attack opponents. When facing Klik, a creature the Grass Goliath considers to be wholly unnatural and should be destroyed at all costs, it will focus on the Klik and try to dismantle it through arcane means.
