The picture says it all. This guy is in Canada and says this happens with nurse logs and nurse stumps even. Basically, old logs end up being a useful spot for new trees to start growing due to no competition at that moment (maybe 10-20 years after it fell?). In this picture, there are 3 trees that were all on the same log, so they have these arches in a row. Over a very long time the roots get bigger and bigger and eventually should close the gap (a LONG time).
How's this apply to D&D?
- Foxes, wolves, bears, etc. like to sleep under them in Real Life he says.
- I can see fey creatures hiding in them easily.
- Snakes and other venomous or poisonous things could be lurking.
- Goblins could easily hide in there, ambush.
Another type.
The other type is where the tree grows over a (stump?) and eventually has a hollow part in the bottom. Reminds me a lot of cypress trees that get hollowed out over time (or did they indeed grow that way partially b/c of a nurse stump??? It'd have to be natural stumps though, so I kinda think cypresses are different).
