Smaller and more vicious than their mature ancestors, Treant Saplings are relatively new to the world; having lived for under a decade. Many of them emulate the behavior of beasts, and are more instinct driven than their elders. Being solitary creatures, most Treant Saplings will develop their minds in due time and mature, while some are taken in by druids or an elder of their own kind.
In the wilderness, a Treant Sapling can sometimes be more dangerous than their elders. While not as large or strong, they are often feral and attack anything unfamiliar to their area, but may listen to Druids under the correct circumstances.
