Description Ents are a very old race that appeared in Middle-earth when the Elves did.

They were apparently created by Eru Ilúvatar at the behest of Yavanna after she learned of Aulë's children, the Dwarves, knowing that they would want to fell trees. Ents were envisioned as Shepherds of the Trees, to protect the forests from Orcs, Dwarves and other perils. Although the Ents were sentient beings at the time of their awakening, they did not know how to speak until the Elves taught them. Treebeard said that the Elves "cured us of dumbness" that it was a great gift that could not be forgotten.

Ents are tree-like creatures, having become somewhat like the trees that they shepherd. Individuals' traits vary, from height (standing about fifteen feet high) to size, colouring, and the number of fingers and toes. They have the weaknesses of trees as well, and can be burned and chopped. An individual Ent more or less resembles the specific species of tree that he typically guards.



To a friend who has a sparkle of fantasy in his eyes.
It's probably going to be used in a bigger piece... In the future.
