Gameplay
The King Sprout is immobile, but makes up for it with a huge Range, causing Poison, having great defense, and being able to heal itself with Feed Me. Grasping Vines (STR Pull3) brings Heroes close, and Rootdown (Wave4 STRvDEX Slow) keeps them close. It loses to the Crusher in terms of being a big, tough Elite (and costing 3 Skulls instead of 2), but the rest of the Old-Growth Hollow is much better.
