Tiger Topiary

Tiger topiaries are most often found within the Impossible Lands and Tian Xia, adding a dangerous appearance to an enchanting garden. Souls of very proud and volatile individuals can become tiger topiaries, turning into silent stalkers and hunters. Following intruders throughout their territory until they're at their most vulnerable, they're known to pick off unsuspecting adventuring parties one member at a time. Seamlessly blending into nature, only experienced travelers can spot a tiger topiary in time to plot a different course.

Topiaries are an extremely common sight across Golarion, especially within the gleaming and well-manicured lawns of nobility. Living topiaries develop from the death of a lone soul in an overgrown area of deep primal magic, with the soul exploding into the plants around it and causing them to grow together into the form of an animal, often influenced by the personality of the dying person. Once fully formed, the living topiary lacks their original memories; however, they're filled with the desire to protect the area they were formed in, driving off invaders and those who would do harm to the flora and fauna.
