Calls upon the forest to root his foes.
From beyond the Vale of Augury comes Rooftrellen, a lone explorer sent forth by his ancient race to survey the wider world. Barely distinguishable from his arboreal brethren, the Treant Protector summons a Wall of Vines, plants Leeching Seeds into intruders while sprouting regenerative roots for his cohorts and their fortifications alike. In order to assist his role as a protector, Rooftrellen enchants trees to serve as Eyes In The Forest. Emerging unseen among the Guise of Trees, he entangles foes with an Overgrowth of vines and roots, fully immobilized for that which awaits them.

Bio

[edit]
Life becomes death becomes new life. As it should be.
▶️  Rooftrellen, the Treant Protector
Far to the west, in the mountains beyond the Vale of Augury, lie the remains of an ancient power, a fount of eldritch energy nestled deep in the high woods. It is said that the things that grow here, grow strangely. To the forces of nature this is a sacred place, made to stay hidden and unknown. Many are the traps and dangers of this land. There are all-consuming grasses, crossbred fauna and poisonous flowers, but none are so fierce as the mighty Treant Protectors.

These ageless, titanic beings, charged with keeping the peace in this dangerous land, ensure that none within encroach without reason, and none without poach their secrets. For time untold they tended to their holy ground, uninterrupted, only dimly aware of the changing world beyond. Yet inevitably the wider world grew aware of this untamed land, and with each passing winter the outsiders grew bolder. Soon they arrived with tools to cut and with flames to burn, and often the Treants would ponder: who are these fragile, industrious creatures? What now had become of the wild, green world? There came and went an age of questions and of doubts, a thousand summers of long traditions set to scrutiny, while more and more the outsiders died and fed their earth.

When all that bloomed had finally finished their say, curiosity had overcome caution. It was decided: a lone protector would be sent into the wider world, and instructed to wander until the glaciers arose once more, to observe the changing land and its creatures, and to discover what unknown dangers could threaten their sacred ground.

Trivia

[edit]
  • Treant Protector has "Riki was here" carved into his side (near the left-handed runes on his belt).
  • Treant Protector's appearance, name, and voice are based heavily on Treebeard, the eldest of the Ent race, who appears in the "Lord of the Rings" books and movies.
  • ▶️ "They say my bark is worse than my bite. I wonder what that means." is a reference to the speaking tree "Grandmother Willow" from Pocahontas.
  • "You were nasty, brutal, and most of all short", in reply to killing Pugna, is a reference to the 1651 book, Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes.
  • Warcraft 3 similarities:
    • In DotA, Treant Protector uses the model of the Ancient Protectors, a defensive Night Elf building.
      • As such, Treant Protector was the only hero to use a building as their base model.
    • Treant Protector's old ability, Forest Sentinel, was identical to the Huntresses' Sentinel, placing an owl onto a tree to reveal the surrounding area. Treant Protector's version used an owl as well.
