Treant

A treant is a fictional creature found in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game.

Treants appear to have been inspired by the talking trees of many of the world's folklores, as well as the Ent from J. R. R. Tolkien's world of Middle Earth. See tree (mythology) for more information. The name "treant" comes from combining "tree" and "giant," and is usually pronounced /|tree-ant/.
