traits:
- [Loyal to Dragon Master, A dragonleaf tree only follows commands from its designated master (or from any creatures to whom the master grants control). It has advantage on saving throws against any charm or compulsion spell or effect. Additionally, the tree has advantage on any saving throw to resist Bluff, Diplomacy, or Intimidate checks made to influence it to act against its masters.]
actions:
- [Slam, Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 58 (10d10+3) bludgeoning damage]

- [Breath Weapon (Recharge 6), A dragonleaf tree can issue forth a breath weapon from its leaves appropriate to the dragon it honors. The creature’s breath weapon deals 49 (14d6) fire damage, or half damage to targets that make a successful DC 15 Dexterity saving throw.]
