## Dauður viður

A monument to the consequences of taking the law into your own hands, a dauður viður is a borderline undead tree that gains power and something resembling sentience after having enough people hung from its branches. The hate pouring out of the dead infects the tree, and makes something else out of it that attacks anything that goes near it. Some parts of it still remember being alive, and sometimes it hangs those already dead upon its branches. If there is death in the air, a dauður viður is likely nearby.

>
> ***Ambusher.*** In the first round of a combat, the dauður viður has advantage on attack rolls against any creature it surprised.
>
> ***Corpse Tree.*** When first encountered, a dauður viður contains the corpses of 1d6 + 3 humanoids. A dauður viður can hold the remains of up to ten dead humanoids. If the dauður viður dies, the corpses hanging off of it can be safely removed.
>
> As an action, the dauður viður can drop and animate one dead humanoid hanging from its branches, turning it into a **berserker**. 
>
>
> \columnbreak
>
>The berserker appears in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of the dauður viður and rolls initiative. The berserker acts as an ally of the dauður viður but isn't under its control. A ghoul made in this way has the undead type and is unable to speak.
>
> ***False Appearance.*** While the dauður viður remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a dead tree.
>
> ***Harvest the Dead.*** As a bonus action, the dauður viður can grab one unsecured dead humanoid within 20 feet of it and hang the corpse onto itself, along with any equipment the corpse is wearing or carrying. The remains can then be used with the Corpse Tree trait.
>
> ### Actions
> ***Multiattack.*** The dauður viður makes three attacks: two with its branches and one with its grasping roots. If it has a target grappled, the dauður viður can also make a branch attack against that target as a bonus action.
>
> ***Branch.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +12 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. *Hit:* 14 (2d6 + 7) slashing damage
>
> ***Grasping Roots.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +12 to hit, reach 20 ft., one creature not grappled by the dauður viður. *Hit:* The target is grappled (escape DC 18). Until the grapple ends, the target takes 10 (1d6 + 7) bludgeoning damage at the start of each of its turns. The root has AC 18 and can be severed by dealing 7 slashing damage or more to it at once. Cutting the root doesn't hurt the dauður viður, but ends the grapple.
