What kind of tree is it?

Ironwillow

The tree groaned as it moved. It was a nasty, evil sound that brought a smile to your face. Looking over you saw that Tripps was sporting a grin as well. It moved with a fluidity alien to such a thick trunk. Branches clustered together forming massive fists, leaves like razors jutting along its limbs. With a gesture you indicate the fallen body of Maxwell. An arm reaches out, effortlessly lifting the warrior’s body, and lifts it into the branches where it disappeared with a crunch. You and Tripps hear a ding as the tree earns its first level.

“An ironwillow? I’ve never heard of a tree like that.” Tripps commented as the two of you examined your new companion.
“That’s not surprising,” You scamper effortlessly into the branches, “There are a lot of rare and unique plants in Griever’s Swamp. Most of them heroes don’t even notice.” You reach down and hold out your hand, “You coming?”
