Territorial Oaks are enemies in EarthBound. They are large mobile trees, first encountered by Ness in Peaceful Rest Valley. Territorial Oaks can use Brainshock α, and their bash attack deals moderate to very high damage. They can also perform a vacuum attack, which can lower Ness and co.'s offense and defense at a low rate. Territorial Oaks set themselves on fire once defeated, which causes massive damage to the party, though the move can be dodged if they check their menu when they return from the fight. Because of this, Territorial Oaks bear similarities to the Trees of Mother 3 and Big Woodoh of EarthBound Beginnings. They share similar attacks and they can perform a death action, notoriously the "burst into flames" attack.
