Characteristics

Stump grumps are the felled remains of trees with green wood and purple leaves, brought to life by being infused with evil magic. They use their sorcery to put their foes to sleep and drain them of their magic with their peculiar dance moves. The stump grumps are nocturnal by nature and can be found dozing away at the base of trees during the day, only becoming active at nighttime.
