Homebrew Ent Folk Species Details

Ents are ancient, tree-like beings from J.R.R. Tolkien's works, appearing as tall, humanoid figures with bark-like skin, leafy beards, and gnarled limbs. They are slow-moving, patient, and strong, acting as "Tree Herders" for the forests they inhabit, with individual personalities reflecting the type of tree they are associated with. hey possess immense strength, capable of crushing iron and tearing apart solid rock. However, they are vulnerable to fire and axes. Ents are known for their extreme patience and slow, deliberate nature, taking a long time to speak their language, "Entish". Their temperament can range from slow and ponderous, like an oak, to more hasty, like a birch or beech, mirroring the trees they care for. As "Tree Herders," they act as ancient caretakers of the forests and are sometimes referred to as the "Tree-lords". The Ents are a dying race because the Entwives, or female Ents, disappeared long ago. Whom they all fantasize over.

Ent makes a persuasion check (DM sets dc) to attempt to convince a tree to uproot itself it can see within 60 feet of it. These trees have the same statistics as a Ent, except they have Intelligence and Charisma scores of 1, they can't speak, health up to dm depending on tree, and they have only the Slam action option. An animated tree acts as an ally of the Ent. The tree remains animate for 1 day or until it dies; until the Ent dies or is more than 120 feet from the tree; or until the Ent takes a bonus action to turn it back into an inanimate tree. The tree then takes root if possible.
