There is one though... with an unusual lack of arms. It sits on its rear, like the rest of the saplings, with a singular branch sprouting from its head. Instead of just green leaves, it has a slightly pinker nub at the end of the branch. Like a bud. Gazing down, he's drawn into a pair of very amber eyes. Actual eyes, not glowing knot holes. It looks at him, or through him, and smiles. Like a shark exposing what hides under its mouth skin, two fistfuls of sharp rootlike teeth are exposed before hiding again. Like the are folding away... unless she's looking real close for a singular branch, these colors are all the same, and its just bout the right height.
Flare feels a tug at his navel as he backs out of the fence and topples back into his own body.
He wakes, flailing madly like he was falling. Catching a breath he didn't realize he was holding the whole time.
"I found the imposter," he says, staggering and struggling to his feet as he does feel much heavier and lightheaded again. Practically falling into the sea of saplings to grab it around the middle.
CHOMP
OW
and have it attach itself to his shoulder. His bad one.
Its a crazy next hour of corraling a panicked baakir who got hooked on a log and is going crazy trying to free herself, the old woman came back to find some sort of woody thing covered in leaves with a single branch with a flower on its head chewing on a weakly flailing dear who was struggling to get the thing to stop chewing on him.
Luckily she has toadstool spores for unruly plants to put them to sleep.
