Elder Tree
These organisms take on a shape similar to other trees but have a curious property that allows them to float. As they grow from a seedling the sapling gradually lifts itself up from the world, taking a large clump of earth with it. This clump of dirt is not required for the livelihood of the plant but instead only the connection of the roots must be maintained. These roots tether the tree to the planet; if they are cut the Elder Tree rises away and eventually crashes back to the surface as it dies.
