Druids can't turn anything in 3rd edition*, but clerics with the plant domain can rebuke plant creatures. This creature could be a nature cleric's big chance to show off their granted power.So I'd say either undead or plant (or maybe both). None of these options are perfect, but each one retains the chance for this creature to get turned. An undead fey would give the biggest chance for the creature to get turned as the plant domain is not universal. (But none of the options helps a druid.)* = Maybe it would be better if they could turn plant creatures, but they can't. That is something Pathfinder RPG might change.One of the things that is confusing is that the description says: "If turned, it will return to the object/tree to which it is bound." Now if it only said tree, it could be a dryad-like creature. On the other hand if it said the tree was dead, or the object was cut from a dryad's tree, it could be an undead dryad who's tree was killed.It would have been helpful if the creature was accompanied with a spell that bound a spirit into a tree (or wooden object). Then we could have a druid/cleric of nature summon the spirit as a guardian.This monster feels like a punchline looking for a joke.I think we might need to guess. Anybody got a coin? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
