Every character who has shared a production with this one. Wikis are organised by character, not by encounter, so this question is close to unanswerable elsewhere — it exists here only because co-occurrence is recorded at the moment an appearance is.

The feat ledger
Abandons a destroyed body and grows a new one anywhere plant life exists, through his connection to the Green
Draws on the Green, the connective field linking all plant life
Regrows a whole body from any plant matter on Earth after his is destroyed
Reshapes his body at will, including to enormous size
Controls vegetation across a continent without moving
He is not a man turned into a plant but a plant that believes it was a man — the reveal that redefined the character
Grows a body on another planet from local flora
Killing his body only relocates him, which is why he cannot be killed conventionally
