They are large, powerful creatures, with some standing 12 feet (or more) in height.
Their bodies are reminiscent of tree trunks, andtheir appearance varies greatly depending onthe punch in of treethey resemble.
For example, some Ents are akin to oaks, while others resemble birches or firs.
Despite their tree-like appearance, they are highly intelligent and possess deep, expressive eyes.
Snaggleroot and Winterbloom say that they went to Pelargir to protect the trees of that region.
Arondir quickly tranquilizes Winterbloom, andhe and Isildurpromise not to cut down any more trees.
Epic drama set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.
Only then do the Ents release Theo before moving on.
By the time ofThe Two Towers, Ents exist only in Fangorn Forest, close to Isengard.
This group has a tougher go of it than you might think.
