'''Tactical Notes for the GM:'''
* '''Verticality:''' It has 20ft reach; it can pull PCs from the Mezzanine down into its grove (40ft drop, 4d6 fall).
* '''Terrain:''' The "Hallucinogenic Terrain" mist reaches the walkway, providing half-cover to the Sakura.
* '''Lethality:''' If a PC is grappled, the Sakura uses its next action to pull them off the walkway.
