Treants

A tree that has come to be possessed by a spirit. While the spirit of a treant was human (or some other race) at some point in time inhabiting the tree for many years has affected its way of thinking, just as the spirit has affected the tree itself. A treant is able to move, although slowly. This means it cannot have roots of its own and the treant instead feeds from the sap of other trees. In return it usually cares for and protects them to ensure it has enough food in the future.

Treants are sometimes but not always able to speak – if not kept alive by conversation with others of its kind or indeed any race it will simply forget it over time. Treants can grow to be very old indeed as they can move to other places should hard weather or else fall on their grove.
