The Ent who figures most prominently in the book is <a href="/wiki/Treebeard" title="Treebeard">Treebeard</a>, who is called the oldest creature in Middle-earth. At that time, there are no young Ents (Entings) because the Entwives (female Ents) were lost. Akin to Ents are <b>Huorns</b>, whom Treebeard describes as a transitional form of trees which become animated or, conversely, as Ents who grow more "treelike" over time. </p><p>Tolkien stated that he was disappointed by <a href="/wiki/William_Shakespeare" title="William Shakespeare">Shakespeare</a>'s handling of the coming of "Great Birnam Wood to High Dunsinane hill"; he wanted a setting in which the trees would actually go to war.

Scholars have seen his tale of the Ents as a myth, mostly without analysing it. <a href="/wiki/Corey_Olsen" title="Corey Olsen">Corey Olsen</a> interprets the song of the Ents and the Entwives as a myth which warns of the dangers of apathetically isolating oneself in nature, whereas the Ents' song "In the willow-meads of Tasarinan" is a lament. </p><p>Inspired by Tolkien and similar traditions, animated or <a href="/wiki/Anthropomorphic" class="mw-redirect" title="Anthropomorphic">anthropomorphic</a> tree creatures appear in a variety of media and works of fantasy. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Internal_history">Internal history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ent&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Internal history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Treebeard" title="Treebeard">Treebeard</a>, called by <a href="/wiki/Gandalf" title="Gandalf">Gandalf</a> the oldest living Ent and the oldest living thing that walks in <a href="/wiki/Middle-earth" title="Middle-earth">Middle-earth</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-The_White_Rider_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-The_White_Rider-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>T 1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> is described as being around 14 feet (4 m) tall, "Man-like, almost <a href="/wiki/Troll_(Middle-earth)" class="mw-redirect" title="Troll (Middle-earth)">Troll</a>-like", and clad in something that might have been tree-bark, with seven toes, a bushy, "almost twiggy" beard and deep penetrating eyes.<sup id="cite_ref-Treebeard_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Treebeard-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>T 2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ents vary widely in personal traits (height, heft, colouring, even the number of toes), having come to resemble somewhat the specific types of trees that they shepherded. <a href="/wiki/Bregalad" class="mw-redirect" title="Bregalad">Quickbeam</a>, for example, guarded <a href="/wiki/Sorbus_aucuparia" title="Sorbus aucuparia">rowan</a> trees and bore some resemblance to rowans: tall and slender, smooth-skinned, with ruddy lips and grey-green hair.

Olsen comments that the Ent is passive, even "languid and somnolent" in summer, the only active process being dreaming; whereas the Entwife's summer season is "simply bursting with activity". These are perhaps, Olsen reflects, not in competition; both contemplation and action are "valuable ways of celebrating natural beauty".<sup id="cite_ref-Olsen_2008_21-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Olsen_2008-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He suggests that Treebeard's view of the song is however biased, and that the Ent is not as humble as he claims to be, especially with respect to the Entwives. If the Ents and the Entwives were to be "unified", they would "balance and complete each other", but they face "moral dangers" without such balance: in the case of the Ents, the danger is of letting their life in nature "lapse into mere lassitude". He gives as examples the "apathetic isolationism" of Skinbark, who refuses to come out of his hills, and Leaflock's "somnolent oblivion", just standing in the long grass all summer doing nothing.
