With its characteristic, shaggy bark on boles and limbs, the '''mossbark''' tree is easily identified within the hardwood forests it generally occupies. Featuring small, oblong leaves, it is a mid-sized tree with wide-reaching branches, giving the specimens a squat, wide shape. Mossbarks often grow in dense groves, where the moss from their branches combines to block passage through the trees. It is believed with good evidence that the mossbark uses this combination of mosses as a secondary means of propagation. While mossbark wood doesn't carry powerful magical ability, nonetheless, what talent it does have makes it a popular choice for all manner of magical items.

Mossbark trees generally grow within verdant hardwood forests. They are easily recognized by the shaggy bark covering bark and boles, and its smallish oblong leaves. The reaching branches of this mid-sized tree give it somewhat of a squarish shape. Mossbarks tend to grow in dense groves, where the masses of dangling moss add to the difficulty of traversing such terrain. It is thought that the mossbarks' moss has a role in its propagation, albeit a secondary one. Some magical powers are infused in the wood, making it a popular choice for some types of weaponry and such. Mossbark wood is light of hue, more so than pines and the like.
