The Fellowship of the Ring | The Two Towers | The Return of the King

Welcome to Fangorn Forest, the land of the Ents! Not only can they talk, but they can smash rock!

Right. So this is a talking tree...

Yep - Treebeard, one of the last 50 or so Ents left living in Fangorn Forest.

Not many are there?

No, all the Entwives left years before, so obviously the er, population isn't increasing. They are NOT trees I tell you! They just... look like it.

So what do they do?

Well, the Ents knew Saruman when he was a good Wizard, but are flabbergasted at his treachery turning to the Dark Lord's side. The Ents need some convincing to this, but I shall explain...

The Ents appear in TTT, or the second movie, depends what you like to call it. Merry and Pippin escape from the Urak Hai that attack them at the end of the first, and end up in the winding maze that makes up Fangorn Forest. They end up making a new friend in the form of Treebeard, who is also a friend of Gandalf's (now the White). Now Ent in general are like trees in that they do everything s-l-o-w-l-y, like walking (yes, you read that right) and talking (well, this is Tolkein's world come on! Anything can talk!) So when Treebeard holds a meeting of all the Ents (about 50, remember) everything takes a really loooooong time! But, with the impatience of the Hobbits running out, they eventually get on with things!

Treebeard quote: "Hill. Yes, that was it. But it is a hasty word for a thing that has stood here ever since this part of the world was shaped."
