−	~~#redirect~~ [[notdNetHack#Ent]]	+	The '''ent''', also known as the '''treant''', is a playable [[race]] that is available to the [[hero]] in [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. A treant/ent hero will appear as {{white\|H}} if the <tt>[[showrace]]</tt> option is set on, and is part of the [[giant humanoid]] [[monster class]].
		+
		+	Ents can be [[lawful]] or [[neutral]], and can be played as an [[Anachrononaut]], [[Barbarian/dNetHack\|Barbarian]], [[Binder]], [[Caveman/dNetHack\|Caveperson]], [[Convict/dNetHack\|Convict]], [[Healer/dNetHack\|Healer]], [[Illithanachronounbinder]], [[Priest/dNetHack\|Priest]], [[Ranger/dNetHack\|Ranger]], [[Troubador]], or [[Wizard/dNetHack\|Wizard]].
		+
		+	==Racial benefits and restrictions==
		+	Though classified among the giant humanoids, ents are [[huge]] [[Plant (monster attribute)\|plant]] monsters, and other plants are considered to be of the same race. Ents are incredibly unique among starting races both in (not)notdNetHack and in [[variant]]s of ''[[NetHack]]'': the exact intrinsics and traits of a given ent hero depend entirely on the species of tree it is derived from, which can also potentially be influenced by their [[role]]. A player starting the game with an ent hero can select their ent's species during character creation.
		+
		+	Ents are generally among the physically stronger races, with some very high physical [[attribute]] caps and low mental attribute caps, and can [[pick up]] and [[throw]] [[boulder]]s. They usually have a slow base [[speed]] of 10, but gain an extra 3-point bonus to [[AC]] and [[DR]] for each of their [[armor]] slots, and will always start with at least 19 [[strength]]. Their [[special spell]] is {{+ of\|restore ability}}.

		+	Ents have great strength and constitution, with better [[HP]] growth than [[Dwarf (starting race)\|dwarves]], but have much lower mental stats and energy growth than average.
		+
		+	===Ent species===
		+	Below is a table of ent species and their primary traits:
		+
		+	* Ancient body: Rerolls negative AC.
		+	* Ancient knowledge: To-hit/damage increase based on Wisdom/4 floored
		+	* Beautiful scent: releases a good smell that calms enemies—when hitting a non-[[breathless]] monster, {{frac\|5}} chance of [[Encouragement\|discouraging]] them by d(1+XL/7) up to XL
		+	* Coniferous: [[Cold resistant]] (also protects inventory)
		+	* Deciduous: Receives amnesia forgetness and take [[sanity]] damage at half the rate
		+	* Powerful build: Effectively one size larger for attacks (like [[Ymir]] and Cavepeople)
		+	* Fast healing: Heal at double the natural rate
		+	* Spry: 12 speed instead of 10
