lack spectral branches, and is named so because only one of it's one-thousand seeds ever sprout, in which takes hundreds of years to grow. Obea trees are avoided, being rumored to make the animal sterile (unable to bare offspring) when near them.
Description
Obea Trees receive their name because only one of it's thousands sprouts grows into a tree, and that takes hundreds of years, a bit like the barren Obea wolves. They also have another name, Witch's Tree, for their black spectral branches which claw at the night sky. They also have buttress roots, which are roots like walls in a cave, that flare up to support the tree because the ground is to hard for the roots to dig in. The roots are a great place to hide things.

They begin to eat, and sleep near the tree until the Prophet arrives.
