The large plant creatures of Teldrassil, and related species [[swampwalker]]s of the [[Swamp of Sorrows]], are types of creatures called timberlings. They also reflect the natural order of plants and animals on the great tree, so it is disturbing to see how angry the timberlings have become. Another symptom of the timberling's disease are tumors within their bodies, filled with a poison. Two notable timberlings of Teldrassil are [[Oakenscowl]] and [[Blackmoss the fetid]].

Timberlings are mobile plants that live in swamps or alongside rivers or lakes. They can be found in Teldrassil and the Swamp of Sorrows. The timberlings of Teldrassil are elementals of nature.[1] In some ways they reflect the natural order of plants and animals on Teldrassil, but they have become corrupted and aggressive due to Inv misc herb 06 [Fel Moss].[2] Two notable timberlings of Teldrassil are Oakenscowl and Blackmoss the Fetid.

In World of Warcraft, these creatures are classified as elementals.

In the RPG

Icon-RPG This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.

A timberling is a twisted mass of branches, vines, and leaves that lumbers forward, rustling with each step. Its body has a vaguely humanoid shape, standing four feet high and weighing around 50 pounds. They do not speak or understand any known language.

They are normally peaceful creatures that live in harmony with the land, but any sort of disruption (such as pollution) drives them into an unnatural frenzy. An angered timberling attacks anything that moves. Timberlings can be made peaceful again only by removing the source of their discomfort and returning the land to its natural state. A symptom of the timberling's current disease are tumors within their bodies, filled with poison.

Timberlings attack by forming their woody limbs into fist-like appendages. When they strike a foe, they leave behind a clump of shoots that expand rapidly, enhancing weaknesses in the victim's defenses. Timberlings attack the nearest enemy, pummeling until the foe stops moving.[3]
