False. [+]Appearance[/+] Motionless: indistinguishable from ordinary tree.
Vegetative Clone. A vegetative clone resembles the creature hit by the nariphon's Thorn attack. Each clone uses stats of an awakened tree except it has the target's size speed and any special senses such as darkvision. Clones are extensions of the nariphon and it can see and hear what a clone sees and hears as if it was in the clone's space. The nariphon can switch from using its senses to using a clone's or back again as a bonus action. Nariphon can have no more than six vegetative clones under its control at one time. Each clone remains until killed or until the nariphon dismisses it (no action required).
