Ent


Physical Description
When walking through the forest, have you ever gotten the feeling that the trees might be watching you? Or maybe you heard something walking through the dark and assumed it must be a very large animal. These occurrences can be attributed to the ent. Mainly a docile race ents prefers to keep to themselves, and tend to the forest around them. Make no mistake, though. They are very protective of the forest around them and have been known to take retribution for anyone harming it.

Sometimes covered in leaves or moss, ents are tree-folk. They can grow tall and large if they are not mistaken for a fallen or standing tree. Sporting a skin of thick wood and bark, this is very easy to do when they do not move for extended periods of time.

History

Through the ages, the ent have sat peacefully in their chosen habitat. They are more than happy to spend their days soaking up the sun or helping out a smaller animal that may be stuck or lost. Though they have sat peacefully almost to the point of indolence, the ent protect their chosen area with a fiery vigor. They have been known to sweep away a wayward traveler or lumberjack who strayed into the area around them and abused the animals or plant around them. The forest druid, however, will sometimes regard them as forest guardians or forest gods.

Society

Ents are usually a solitary race but have been known to congregate in specific areas to take advantage of a particularly sunny or water laden area.
