Liege of the Tangle

Creature — Elemental

Trample

Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may choose any number of target lands you control and put an awakening counter on each of them. Each of those lands is an 8/8 green Elemental creature for as long as it has an awakening counter on it. They're still lands.

Rulings

2020-08-07
If an awakening counter is moved from an affected land to another land, this doesn't cause the recipient to be affected by Liege of the Tangle's ability.
2020-08-07
Whether an affected land remains an 8/8 green Elemental creature depends only on whether it still has an awakening counter on it, not on whether Liege of the Tangle is still on the battlefield.
