A Ghillie Dhu is a solitary guardian of birch woods, clothed in leaves, moss, and the shadows between pale trunks. It hides from adults but sometimes guides a lost child home by leaving berries, bent grass, and quiet footprints. Axes raised against living birch draw it from concealment with a speed that makes the whole grove appear to move.
Special Attack
Birchwood Snare: one creature within 30 ft makes a Quick save or is held by roots and branches until it spends a round cutting or pulling free.
Special Defense
Shelter the Lost: returning a lost child, animal, or traveler to safety ends its hostility. Fire inside its grove removes its concealment but causes it to fight without retreat.
