Description
Ents are a race of beings in J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy world Middle-earth who closely resemble trees. They’re very similar to the talking trees in folklore around the globe. Their name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word for giant. The Ents appear in The Lord of the Rings as ancient shepherds of the forest and allies of the free peoples of Middle-earth right through the War of the Ring. The Ent who figures most prominently in the book is Treebeard, who (credibly) claims to be the oldest creature in Middle-earth. At the time The Lord of the Rings takes place, there are no young Ents (Entings) for the reason that Entwives (female Ents) were lost. The Ents are akin to Huorns, whom Treebeard describes as a transitional form of trees which grow to be animated or, conversely, as Ents who grow more “treelike” over the years. Inspired by Tolkien and similar traditions, animated or anthropomorphic tree creatures appear in a lot of media and works of fantasy.
