Description (Initial Observations): Prot eps are the most ancient of trees, surviving the original holocaust by constantly adapting until they could not be killed. Prot eps cannot take damage from any kind of attack, natural or artificial. No disease, insect, or plant life can affect them. Their roots are like steel cables travelling miles below the ground. They cannot be knocked over, torn up, or driven into the ground. They have bark like a birch, leaves like a maple, but are pure white in color, and grow to the shape and size of an old oak. Chemical defoliants, radiation, or antimatter will wither all the vegetation around them but cannot even change their color. They only die of old age, and that is after thousands of years. Some civilizations revere them as gods, others build their villages around their trunks or in their branches. There is no safer place for a party of adventurers to camp overnight than in the branches of a prot ep, as attacks cannot usually penetrate the foliage surrounding them and very few dangerous creatures seem to be able to live or hunt in them (usually snakes can survive).
