Ents

"Tree? I am no tree... I am an ent!"

Ents are race of tree-like sentient beings that inhabit, with a fair deal of rarity, the world of Gielinor. Ents are the guardians of nature, being manifestations of nature themselves.

What is an ent?
Ents are beings of pure nature. They grow branches, leaves, bark, and are even known to serve as the homes for small woodland creatures. In these respects, they are identical to trees. What makes them different is that ents can think, see, hear, walk, talk, and have wills and ambitions.

Accepted lore

 * Ents are worshipers of the late God of Balance, Guthix.
 * The foliage of an ent changes depending on the climate of their environment.
 * There is a sub-species of ent for every kind of tree.
 * Ents have a deep love for all creatures of the natural world.
 * Ents have an especially powerful level of care for trees.
 * Ents are extremely rare, when compared to the massive tree population of Gielinor.
 * Ents are most commonly found in temperate forests.

Strengths
Due to their strong resemblance to trees, they can basically hide in plain sight, and can be almost completely indistinguishable from actual trees.

Ents possess their fair share of physical might, mostly due to their sheer size.

Weaknesses
Ents are typically very slow, and are miserable in icy, frozen climates.

Debated lore
It is unknown whether ents can speak with trees.
