-  * May concentrate for 10 seconds to 'pick up' a fallen hero. The Crooked Man must receive five hits or a WOUND or STAGGER (any of which cause the monster to 'drop' their prey) before the hero in question can be healed by any type of non-ranged healing.
+  * May 'pick up' at most a single downed person with 10s concentration. This stabilises them but means they cannot move (but can be healed). The next time the Crooked Man takes an effect call, they RESIST it, but drop the person they are carrying. The Crooked Man should brief anyone they pick up with these rules while they're doing so. They also get dropped if the Crooked Man drops to 0 hits.

+  * 10 hits
+  * Short weapons
+  * Immune FEAR, STAGGER, BACKSTAB, WOUND
+  * Can call the special call GRAPPLE on its victims after 5 seconds concentration. Once GRAPPLE has been called, the vine drags its victim towards the Blooded Oak, although the target can continue to attack and make calls. The vine cannot attack while using GRAPPLE.

+  * This is a pseudo-composite monster.
+    * Each monster physrep starts as a separate monster.
+    * Each monster starts on some number of hits, however they have //unlimited// maximum hits.

+  * May call HEAL FOUR on another Forest creature with 10 seconds medical roleplay
+  * Ranged Gift of Life: May take X damage to call HEAL X at range on another Forest creature.
+  * When dropped, immediately disperse - there is no corpse left to execute. Instead, monster physreps should float at the edge of the encounter, where they are valid targets for Ranged Gift of Life, allowing them to be ‘respawned’ as the Leaves making the call split in two.
+  * AI: Harass the party, diving in and diving out. When low on hits, prefer to transfer all remaining hits to another Leaves, rather than fighting to the bitter end.
