entil

Entil is a fictional creature from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Ents are ancient, tree-like beings who are depicted as the shepherds of the trees. They are slow-moving and possess great strength and endurance. Ents are characterized by their deep, rumbling voices and their long memories, often recalling events from ages past. Their primary role is to protect the forests from those who would harm them, particularly orcs and other destructive forces.

The most well-known Ent is Treebeard, who resides in Fangorn Forest. Treebeard plays a significant role in The Lord of the Rings, where he rallies the other Ents to march against the wizard Saruman and his destruction of the forest. Ents reproduce very slowly, and their numbers have dwindled over the ages, leading to a sense of melancholy and a concern for the survival of their kind. They are a testament to the deep connection between nature and life in Tolkien's creation.
