“Some of my kin look just like trees now, and need something great to rouse them; and they speak only in whispers. But some of my trees are limb-lithe, and many can talk to me.” - The Two Towers

Hey guys! So in Fangorn Ents, while not often seen, are still pretty abundant. This bothers me and now I'd like to explain why.

The Problem: So in the books the Ents were a dying race. There were only around 25-50 Ents in the attack on Isengard and in the book it was described as almost all the ents as well as a few huorns. However one will often find 25+ plus Ents at the Fangorn Clearing on it's own not to mention the entire rest of the forest. Now I don't know how accurate the 25-50 statistic is but point is, there weren't many ents and you were very unlikely to come across one if you were to cross the forest however in the mod you'd be very hard-pressed to not see a single ent or huorn.

The Idea: It's really quite simple. Decrease spawning of Ents and Huorns in Fangorn by a magnitude of 10  and while I'm exaggerating for effect, Spawning needs to be decreased and one other thing, make Ents look like trees not when they're awake but before. And I don't mean Huorn style but just have them be sleeping and blend in with the surroundings so that if you were just passing through Fangorn you wouldn't see them but if you searched you'd find them. I'm not entirely sure how this would be implemented but it seems an interesting idea.

Additional Note: The thing about Ents blending in is purely speculatory and while I think it'd be cool to have that added in, the main point of this suggestion was to lower Ent and Huorn spawning

As always Constructive Criticism is welcome!
