Sylvan (3.5e Template)

Sylvan creatures are strongly connected to nature. They are strengthened and quickened by nature and they become smarter as well. They have various abilities that make them very dangerous in natural settings. Sylvan creatures do not look the same as their normal counterparts and often act more savage. They look more natural and may have leaves growing out of their body, mossy hair, or bark-like skin.

Any creature can have a Sylvan template
