| General Introduction: Ents are trees that have been
awakened to intelligent lif by
magic. They have many tree-like
features, such as bark-like skin
and tough, woody flesh that is
extremely resistant to blades and
missiles. This same woody flesh,
however, makes the Ents suseptible
to fire and lightning. Ents
usually live alone and build
several living areas, which are
made with rock and living trees
and always have a stream running
through them.
|
| Combat: Ents don't like to fight, but when
they are aroused, they lash out
with their branch-like arms and
large feet. A furious Ent is a
frightful sight, and there are
stories about Ents joining
together and tearing down solid
stone walls to get to an enemy
inside. |
| Habitat/Society: Ents usually live alone, but there
are always a few in an area. When
there is a threat, Ents from all
over will gather together in an
Entmoot to discuss what they
should do.
|
| Ecology: Ents are very slow, patient
creatures. They always think
about things for a very long time,
somtimes for months, before they
act. They speak a language with
long, slowly pronounced words that
sound like deep singing. This
language is so complicated, with a
mulitude of vowel shades and
consonant sounds, that the most
learned loremasters have not even
attempted to represent it in
writing, nor can any of us "hasty"
creatures even learn this
language. Ents, however, are
quick learning, and they never
forget something they've been
taught. |
