Ents
The Shepherds of the Trees

Dates: Originated shortly after the Elves.
Meaning: Ent is in fact an Anglo-Saxon word meaning 'giant', and so is likely to have been given to this race by Men.
Other Names: Onodrim, Shepherds of the Trees.

A race of giant, tree-like people whose purpose was to protect the forests of Middle-earth. By the end of the Third Age, the great forests had dwindled, and so had the Ents, but they were still to be found in Fangorn Forest.
