An ent, #, is a type of monster that appears in EvilHack. The ent is a type of male tree-like creature that is strong, inediate and thick-skinned, with infravision and the ability to pick up and throw boulders—ents cannot wear armor or wield weapons, but can put on amulets and rings and utilize other items. Druids that reach experience level 14 can wildshape themselves into the form of an ent.
An ent has two strong claw attacks, with the second capable of inflicting knockback, and possesses poison resistance, sleep resistance, immunity to sickness, and a vulnerability to fire. Ents subjected to stoning will transform into petrified ents.
Generation
Randomly generated ents may be created as peaceful towards neutral heroes, and are always peaceful towards Druids, Rangers and non-Infidel elven heroes. An ent can grow up into an elder ent.
Casting stone to flesh at a petrified ent will turn him into a normal ent.
An ent leaves behind a dead tree upon death unless he is killed in a corridor.
Strategy
Ents have quite strong melee attacks, but are very slow. A hero invested in keeping a pet ent long-term will want to consider turning any tame ents they have into petrified ents, which are slightly slower but have the best AC and strongest attacks among true ents.
Encyclopedia entry
Pippin, though still amazed, no longer felt afraid. Under those
eyes he felt a curious suspense, but not fear. 'Please,' he said,
'who are you? And what are you?'
A queer look came into the old eyes, a kind of wariness; the deep
wells were covered over. 'Hrum, now,' answered the voice; 'well,
I am an Ent, or that's what they call me. Yes, Ent is the word.
The Ent, I am, you might say, in your manner of speaking.
Fangorn is my name according to some, Treebeard others make it.
Treebeard will do.'
