| A large and gnarled mangrove, possessed of sapience and a cantankerous disposition. Its roots run deep through the water and soil of its marshy home and can make footing very difficult for those who provoke its ire. Despite their kind's sour countenance, marsh fauna are often found nesting within their branches; beware, for they may not take kindly to being disturbed. |

Useful Info
Shambling mangroves are massive forest guardians: large and powerful, but slow. Along with their brutal melee attacks, they have a smite-targeted constriction ability. Shambling mangroves can be found in the Swamp.
Some shambling mangroves are generated with a few hornets inside them, which will be released automatically once the mangrove is reduced below 50% HP. These creatures count as normal monsters for experience purposes and are not replenished. These hornets considered the shambling mangroe their band leader; if you kite monsters away, the insects will regroup.

Tips & Tricks
- Grasping Roots will prevent you from moving or going upstairs until you break the constriction. Even a scroll of blinking has a chance to fail while constricted. This can make bad situations into lethal ones.
- To avoid the effects of Grasping Roots, you can fly over deep water or lava. Just don't have your flight run out.
- If you lack poison resistance, killing the hornets should be a major priority. Even if you have rPois, they still have a 1/18 chance to paralyse you on hit. With poison immunity, however, they are trivial.

- Shambling mangroves were added in 0.14. During the shambling mangrove's development, it was originally known as a treant and was found in the Enchanted Forest, an experimental branch that never made it into a stable release.
