massive tree is on fire, giving it a distinctive yellow, orange, and red glow.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Burning Trees (Sp)
An inferno treant can convert up to two trees within 120 feet into medium fire
elementals. The trees require 1 full round to become fire elementals, after
which they can act as normal. While an inferno treant can create as many fire
elementals as it wishes, it can only control two at a time. If the treant moves
out of range or is destroyed, the fire elementals it created collapse into a
pile of ash.
Double Damage Against
Objects (Ex) An inferno treant that makes a full attack against an object
or structure deals double damage.
Inferno treants do not seek to protect the forests from
which they derive. Instead, they carry out vengeance for destruction caused to
their forest homes, typically through the careless use of fire by intelligent
creatures. The treants gather a force of fire elementals from trees surviving a
wildfire and track the responsible parties to their source, where the treants
and elementals can lay waste to the community and ostensibly prevent future thoughtless
destruction. Typical treants find inferno treants abhorrent and just as
destructive as (if not more) the creatures liable for the accidental creation
of the fiery treants. Treants normally aid in destroying inferno treants to
preserve what they can, but, if their wrath has been provoked, they are content
to let their conflagrative relatives wreak destruction.
Dead inferno treants often leave an acorn or another similar
nut that looks like a large ember. Destructive druids procure these nuts to
cultivate groves of inferno treants, which appear to be normal trees (or merely
animated trees) until someone applies fire to them. These objects are worth 500
gp to interested parties and require a DC 21 Knowledge (nature) check to
recognize their value.
