Ents and Huorns

Ents are ancient, giant humanoid tree-like creatures who act as shepherds and protectors of the forests, particularly Fangorn Forest.

Their appearance varies depending on the types of trees they tend to, but they generally resemble very tall, strong humanoids with bark-like skin, limbs like branches, and faces with deep eyes.

Ents are patient, slow to action, and long-lived, with a strong connection to nature and trees. The oldest known Ent is Treebeard.

They have great physical strength, capable of tearing down stone and fighting powerful foes like Saruman's forces.

Ents speak an own language (Entish) and are highly wary and cautious, requiring long deliberations before making decisions.

They were created by the Valar Yavanna to protect trees and punish those who harm them.

The Entwives, female Ents, were lost, and no new young Ents (Entings) exist during the Third Age, making the Ent population dwindling.

Huorns are trees that have become partially or fully sentient and capable of movement, often described as a transitional form between trees and fully sentient Ents or Ents becoming more tree-like.

While Ents are humanoid and more rational, Huorns are wilder, more primal, and animalistic in behavior.

They tend to be mysterious, silent watchers of the forest, often blending in with regular trees but able to move quickly and aggressively if disturbed or angered.

Huorns communicate with Ents but are known to be dangerous and unpredictable.

They were cared for by the Ents as part of the forest ecosystem.

The presence of Huorns was significant during the War of the Ring when they helped Ents in battle.
