Regeneration. At the start of its turn, a gallows tree zombie recovers 5 lost hit points. This ability fails to function if the creature has been severed from its gallows tree (see Tether Vine, below).

Tether Vine. A gallows tree zombie is connected to the gallows tree that created it by a sinewy vine. This vine can be lengthened to allow the zombie to move up to 100 feet from the tree. The vine has AC 14 and 10 hit points. Harming the vine deals no damage to the gallows tree zombie or the gallows tree, but if severed, does prevent the zombie from using its regeneration.
