  |journalBBS=This giant, tree-shaped Unversed tried to get the jump on Ventus in Dwarf Woodlands. It could chuck poisonous fruit, it could launch vicious attacks...But could it defeat Ven? Nope.

The Mad Treant resembles a large, brown tree. Its trunk splits into three large branches, which, in turn, fork into three more branches, giving it nine branches covered with green leaves. Purple fruit resembling whole apples and blue fruit with a longer, more conical shape hang from its branches. It has four thick roots that it typically keeps out of the ground to use as legs, though it can send them back into the ground. There are three red thorns on each of these roots. The Mad Treant's mouth is a jagged, black opening in the trunk, and it has a vertical split in its trunk between its eyes. Its red eyes are set in a sorrowful expression and the Unversed insignia is emblazoned on it just under its mouth.

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.

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 battle against the Mad Treant, as it is one of the first boss fights in [[Ventus]]'s scenario, will test the player's knowledge of Ven's strengths and weaknesses, as well as the game's controls and the mastery of special abilities like [[Shotlock]]s. Ventus will have Shotlocks, [[Command Style]]s, and [[Dimension Link|D-Link]]s available to him in this battle, so these special powers should be utilized to one's advantage.  

The Mad Treant will begin the battle by slowly lumbering around the battlefield. While it is not attacking, rush up to the Unversed boss and attack it with magic or physical combos. Remain cautious, however, as the Mad Treant will proceed to send several bombs raining down in all directions. Chain as many Dodge Rolls together as possible to avoid the attack. The player can then rush up to the boss and attack it, but be careful as it can stomp Ventus if he is too close. Be sure to jump as the Unversed leaps into the air, or else Ventus will be hit by a resulting shockwave. The player should also be careful when it lands as it releases poisonous fruit that leaves purple puddles on impact with the ground. Touching the fruit or the puddles causes poison status. If the Mad Treant plants its root-like legs into the ground, be sure to remain in the air, or else Ventus will be hit with Earth magic as shards of rock fly up at him.
