	Ents - Tolkien Gateway
		Ents were created at the request of Yavanna to guard the trees, and thus were called "Shepherds of the Trees".
		Ents were envisioned as Shepherds of the Trees, to protect the forests from Orcs, Dwarves and other perils.
		Almost nothing is known of the early history of the Ents — they apparently lived in and protected the large forests of Middle-earth in previous ages, and they briefly appear near the end of the First Age, attacking a band of Dwarves, apparently summoned by Beren and Lúthien.

	Ents - The Lord of the Rings Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		The Ent Quickbeam was regarded as a very "hasty" Ent for answering a question before another Ent had finished: the end may only have been another hour away.
		In this meaning of the word, Ents are one of the staples of fantasy and folklore/mythology, alongside wizards, knights, princesses, and dragons, although modern English-speakers would probably not call them by their traditional name.
		Somewhat akin to Ents are the Ancients portrayed in the Warcraft universe.

	GW Online : The Lord of The Rings : Heralds of The Free : Rules For The Ents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Ents are giants that resemble nothing so much as trees, having lived for so many years in the groves they have become rather like the trees that they love.
		Ents care little for the world that is beyond the realm of Fangorn but the destruction of their beloved woodlands drives them into a raging fury of destruction.
		Ents are slow to act in the affairs of others and are difficult to rouse until a threat becomes clear.

	Treebeard
		The Ents were created from the thought of Yavanna, the Vala of growing things, to protect her beloved trees.
		It is not known exactly when the Ents came into being, but it may have been around the time of or shortly after the awakening of the Elves, which occurred around 1050 of the Years of the Trees.
		The Ents and Entwives had already begun to grow apart - the Ents were interested in the wild woods, while the Entwives preferred tending orchards and gardens - and after the Entwives moved away, the Ents seldom saw them.

	Ent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In this sense of the word, Ents are probably the most ubiquitous of all creatures in fantasy and folklore, perhaps second only to dragons.
		Although the Ents were sentient beings at the time of their awakening, they did not know how to speak until the Elves taught them.
		Tolkien later noted that the destruction of Isengard by the Ents was based on his disappointment in Macbeth; when "Birnham Wood be come to Dunsinane", Tolkien was less than thrilled that it amounted to men walking on stage with leaves in their hats.

	ents
		Half Men, half trees, the Ents were fourteen feet tall, and the eldest had lived in Middle-earth for nine Ages of Stars and Sun.
		Though Ents at times had great gatherings called Entmoots, for the most part they were a solitary folk living apart from one another in isolated Ent houses in the great forests.
		Ents, in the years of starlight, had been both male and female, yet in the Ages of Sun the Entwives became enamoured of the open lands where they might tend the lesser Olvar - the fruit trees, shrubs, flowers, grasses and grains, whereas the male Ents loved the trees of the forests.

	The Grey Havens - Else: Concerning Ents
		Ents were supposed to protect the forests of the Middle Earth, and they have been given the ability to talk to and hear the threes.
		The ents liked to go along in the woods and talk to the threes, while the wives used to go on the open fields making the plants grow after their own desire.
		The ents seldom visited the entwives, and after the great war between Sauron and the men from the sea, they disappeared.

	TolkienWiki: Ents
		The Ents were the most ancient people in Middle-earth, surviving in the ThirdAge.
		The Ents and Treebeard are a LotR-creation of Tolkien.
		There was a battle about a ford across one of the Seven Rivers of Ossir, and the Silmaril was recovered, and so came down to Dior Beren's son, and to Elwing Dior's daughter and Earendel her husband (father of Elros and Elrond).

	Carleton College: Environmental Studies: ENTS 398 & 391/Senior Capstone
		Philosophy: The ENTS senior Capstone project is a substantive learning experience that should round out and cap each students program of study in the ENTS concentration.
		ENTS is a community of learners and by the time Concentrators reach the senior year, they have skills in a particular field (the major), as well as interests that can be combined.
		ENTS faculty and Northfield organizations are good sources of information for larger, community projects that can be undertaken by a group.

	// LotR OnlinE
		Though Ents at times had great gatherings, called Entmoos, for the most part they were a solitary folk living apart from one another in isolated Ent houses in the great forest.
		And in the Ent houses they took their rest, often finding refreshment in standing beneath the crystal coolness of a waterfall cascading throughout the night.
		After the War of the Ring, the Ents again lived peacefully in the Entwood, yet they continued to wane and the Fourth Age was believed to be their last.

		Ents are mustered with 2 unicorns in the Woods and Hills.
		Ents have a special rangestrike: they may "rangestrike" an enemy creature through a Tree hex which is adjacent to both the Ent and the target.

	Entmoot - Ents
		Don't get me wrong - I love Ents (who wouldn't want an Ent in their life, although it would be hard to find a place for it), but it always seemed to me that the storyline came to a dead end.
		I agree with the notion that the Ent storyline is far and away beyond the scope of LOTR.
		Ents are the males and Entwives are the females.

	Love in the Trees
		Whereas the Ents viewed themselves as only gentle shepherds of the trees, the Entwives believed they could improve the things among which they lived.
		The Ents were nowhere to be found when Sauron's armies overran the Entwives.
		The Ents can destroy vast fortresses, change the course of rivers, and alter the landscape by leading their herds of trees (or Huorns) to new "pastures".

	Ayia Iluvatar: Moderate Ents? Right-wing Elves?
		For Sara to say she sees moderates in the ents is a use of applicability, but to imply that this was Tolkien's intention is a stretch he would not have been happy with.
		Sara put the ents into the context of the War of the Ring, looking at them as an example of someone who is basically ignoring the world around them while important things are happening.
		Ents are not resistant to joining the war because they are afraid or because they are slow.

		Ents emerge from their forest to smash the unwary Uruk-hai.
		The Ent boxed set comes with something The Lord of The Rings SBG fans have been clamoring for: extra bits.
		The gangly arms (which can be easily bent) and nature of the tree-like Ents (easy to fill and sculpt gaps with putty) allow for many, many poses.

	Ents storm Grand Central! - Salon
		And that's all it took to convince us to bid farewell to the Shire and return to the streets where, as promised, a slightly bowed tree was embracing pedestrians outside Banana Republic.
		The Ent was actually a man on stilts, inside a craggy foam-rubber costume.
		Children laughed and touched the rubbery bark, although several seemed to be under the impression that these might be the talking trees from Oz.

	Love in the Trees
		The Ents and Entwives, on the other hand, were unwilling or unable to compromise on their needs and desires, and so ultimately they divorced each other.
		The Ents imprisoned themselves within the bounds of their receding woodlands, while the Entwives refused to leave the comfort (and false safety) of their highlands.
		In the end, Bombadil will outlive the Ents because despite his moss-gathering ways, he remains flexible enough to make whatever changes are needed in his life.

	Ents and Hourns
		When the Ents of the world got weary and bored of life, some of them started to get more and more drowsy and unconscious of things around them.
		These Ents' bodies started to become more and more like trees, and they lost most of their voices, but could hear quite well.
		Ents are never really energetic, as they talk and act slow but meaningful and wisely.

	Ents
		If the producers choose to include the Ents in the Two Towers there is a chance that the movie could be one of the best films ever.
		If the producers choose not to include the Ents in the Two Towers this film will never be able to break out of being another Tolkien half assed cinematic effort which lacks the clarity, depth, and beauty everyone has been charmed with in the novel.
		I realize it's difficult to produce the special effects needed for the Ents to be brought to life.

	rules for ents - ANN: Ents 0.2
		Ents is short for entities, in that this does less than entities, but the Tolkien connection is interesting as well.
		Ents, like most of my filters, takes a list of rules in an XML format.
		Ents rules can easily be embedded in other documents (schemas or whatever), and the rules loader will ignore all content but its own rules.
