We have already seen the Rootwalker, so now it’s time to meet the shock troops of the Blacktree’s army –Ebon Dryads.

Ebon dryads are more intelligent than Rootwalkers, and typically are found leading mobs rootwalkers against those who oppose the Blacktree.  They also serve as recruiters, as anyone who is slain by the burning roots ability immediately becomes a rootwalker.
