===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''=== | |||
After [[Ventus]] meets [[Snow White]] and escorts safely through the woods, Snow White explains that she had previously been attacked by a tree. He returns with her to the Dwarfs' cottage; there, Snow White explains she had met a "man with a key-like sword", and was soon attacked by a swarm of Unversed. As Ventus realizes that she means [[Terra]], the Dwarfs accuse Terra of summoning the "evil demons". Ventus defends his friend's name to no avail, and when he runs out to the forest to prove Terra's innocence, he encounters the Mad Treant. | |||

In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix'', the Mad Treant takes on a darker appearance. Its trunk becomes black and the thorns on its roots are now orange. The apple-like fruits become purple and green, the longer ones become bright yellow, and the Unversed's leaves become an orange-brown color. | In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix'', the Mad Treant takes on a darker appearance.

The | The {{ff|Treant}} is a common enemy found in many games of the {{ff|Final Fantasy (series)|''Final Fantasy'' series}}, based on the {{w|Plant creatures#Treant|enemy of the same name}} in the ''{{w|Dungeons & Dragons}}'' series of games, which is in turn based upon the {{w|Ent}}s of {{w|J.R.R. Tolkein}}'s {{w|Middle-Earth}} works. "Mad" may reference the brief moments when it surges and goes berserk with darkness. This is similar to how its namesake the Ent (or Treant) behaves while agitated. Once roused from its slow chain of thought, an Ent will basically go "mad", letting its true strength and adamantine qualities show. | ||
The Unversed is somewhat similar to the frightening images of trees from ''Snow White'', resulting from the heroine's ordeal while in the forest at night. | The Unversed is somewhat similar to the frightening images of trees from ''Snow White'', resulting from the heroine's ordeal while in the forest at night. | ||

After taking enough damage, the Mad Treant will collapse, stunned. It will also drop several much-needed HP orbs. Pick these prizes up to replenish whatever HP is depleted from Ventus's HP bar and continue the onslaught. As the Mad Treant recollects itself and its HP starts to dwindle, it will repeat past attacks. It gains one deadly new technique however, one that allows it to shoot three large bombs at Ventus. Dodge Roll to avoid them (they can be seen coming based on their shadows, which appear on the ground as they draw near). The Unversed will continue to use slightly more powerful versions of previously used attacks for the majority of the battle after this, so utilize the same strategies as before to avoid them. So long as the player heals when necessary and attacks only when the Mad Treant itself isn't attacking, the battle should be quite simple to win. | After taking enough damage, the Mad Treant will collapse, stunned.
