Ent

"You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say."

- Treebeard, The Two Towers

Ents are slow (but strong) Tree-herders that live in the forest of Fangorn.

Behaviour
Ents will generally move slowly around Fangorn until they see an evil NPC (Uruk-Hai, Gundabad Orc) or player. Upon seeing their foe, they will move towards them at alarming speed and attack it. They will also do this if they see a player cutting trees. They spawn and despawn in the same way as most other NPC's in the mod.

Trivia
Judged by the number of hitpoints, Ents are the strongest non-boss mob in the LOTR mod.

Judged by field tests, they are weaker than Olog-hai, due to having the damage output, but lacking the armor.

Lore
Ents, or Onodrim (meaning Tree-Host in Elvish) were created by Eru Ilúvatar to defend the woods of Middle-Earth from the Dwarves. They are Tree (specifically Huorn) Shepherds, protecting their home from any evil that would venture into it. When they first came into existence, (around the same time as the elves) they did not possess the ability to speak, at least not until the elves taught them. Ents have been known to have anywhere from five to forty fingers and toes.
