DENIZENS - TREANT

REANTS are a race of sentient treefolk, who are ambivalent to all but the longest lived of the humanoid races, the elves. They are solitary creatures and territorial individuals who inhabit the deepest of the great forests such as Anderida, in Newhon. Consequently the chances of them being encountered are uncommon and even the elves who often share the same habitat have no plural word for treant. The treant's physical characteristics such as size, age and thickness are dependent on what local climate / tree species they originate from.

Willowent (Treantus salix): Typically growing upto 60ft tall willowent Inhabit riversides. They have shallow roots and therfore are the quickest of the treant species. Their spells tend to be of the healing variety. Characteristically open to new ideas and suggestible, they suffer from "mood swings" and their opinions are often as changeable as the winds. Bar the Ashent they are most likely to interact with humans and other creatures (Interaction chance 30%).

Oakent (Treantus quercales): Growing upto 120ft tall these treant inhabit temperate lowland regions with moderate precipitation. Spells tend to be of the creative variety with solid immutable effects. They can be dismissive of humans and other creatures however they are protective of all living things within their habitat and react violently towards anyone with hostile intentions towards another creature. (Interaction chance 15% (60% if combat occurs within sight or hearing)).

Redwent (Treantus sequoia): The tallest oldest and sturdiest of ents growing up to 300ft high. Inhabit cold precipitous climates between 1,500 and 2500 ft above sea level. They are extremely deep rooted and itwill rarely uproot themselves. Spells tend to be of the creative variety with permanent effects. Characteristically stubborn they respect tradition particularly that of elves and giantkin and dislike change. They are least likely to interact with humans and others (Interaction chance 5% (15% if an elf or giant addresses them by name)).

Palment (Treantus Arecales): This species of treant can grow upto 100ft high and they inhabit warm tropical climates at sea level, but can be found around water sources in desert environments. They have shallow roots and are know to move aound from time to time. Spells tend to be creative type spells of the food/shelter variety. Lofty and ambitious in character they tend towards foolishness and can often be tricked or persuaded into giving assistance (Interaction chance 20%).

Birchent (Treantus Betula): Upto 100ft high, inhabit cold lowland climates and are found in arctic regions. Spells tend towards mutational magic with temporary effects. They have changeable and irritable natures (Interaction chance 10%)

Ashent (Treantus Fraxina): Upto 60ft tall, inhabit temperate regions. The most vain of the treant species it will often be found in the middle of clearings as it smothers the other tree and plant species, particularly other ash trees, around it. Spells tend towards the illusory. They are most receptive when flattered and can become angry if other creatures are ambivalent towards them (often interacting first if ignored), their conversation always turns towards themselves and see most of what happens around them although trying to get this information out of an Ashent can be an arduous task. (Interaction chance 30% (60% if ignored)).

Firent (Treantus Abies): Growing upto 100ft tall firent inhabit cold mountainous regions. They are receptive, helpful and good natured creatures but often require humans to solve a riddle or conundrum. Their spells tend to be creative assistance variety. Often likely to interact with humans and other creatures (Interaction Chance 25%).

OT much is know about their social habits, it is uncommon for treant to interact with any creatures due to their different perspective of time, most other creatures move and talk too fast for treant to be concerned with them (in the same way that humans and insects co-exist). Elves have conversed the most with treant, but a racial stereotype is hard to prove as each treant comes from different tree stock and has many of it's common traits. It is elven lore that they pair for mating and have mass gatherings but this has never been observed.
