Evil roots are roots that appear during the Evil Tree D&D and the 2011 Easter Event. They occasionally grow around the tree with a maximum of four roots and knock off adjacent players trying to light or chop the tree. They can be cut down for an Evil tree kindling which is used to light the tree. The rate at which the root is severed depends on the amount of people cutting it. The requirement for cutting the root down is the same as for the tree, e.g. a Magic evil tree roots require level 75 Woodcutting to be chopped.

Trivia

• If a root sprouts over a lit fire, the fire will disappear. The fire or ashes will not show up (even when right-click options are shown) until the roots are gone.
• Evil roots take 1 minute to respawn after being cut down.
