Who am I? Some call me an Ent. ''The'' Ent, I am, you might say, in your manner of speaking. ''Fangorn'' is my name according to some (''Sphangorno'' in Old Sindarin spoken [[Literature/TheSilmarillion before the sun and moon appeared and the rebel Noldor came out east]]), ''Treebeard'' others make it. I will not tell you my real name, not yet at any rate. For one thing, [[OverlyLongName it would take a very long while to say it]], like saying anything in my language - Old Entish, you may call it.

I dwell on the land they call [[Literature/TolkiensLegendarium Middle-Earth]], where I walked in the willow-meads of Tasarinan and the elm-woods of Ossiriand and trough the beeches of Neldoreth, but now I walk in my very own domain, the Fangorn Forest, that is named after me. I guard the trees of the forest, for we, Ents are the Shepherds of Trees. We do not care about the business of others, for nobody really cares about us. But when two young hobbits arrived to my forest and told me about the evil deeds of - ''burárum'' - the wizard Saruman, I summoned the Entmoot and we marched to Isengard and brought it down! For there is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of men for such treachery!

* BerserkButton: I hate those - ''burárum'' - those wood-chopping, tree-killing Orcs!

Why Saruman decided to follow the ways of Morgoth and his disciple Sauron I will never know....More power?! '''''Hoom, hm'''''! That was folly. Sauron's promises are as hollow as his master's were.

* ConstantlyCurious: I lived for very long, but it seems there are always new things in the world to learn. When I first met the hobbits, I wanted to learn everything about them.
* CurbStompBattle: When we marched to Isengard, Saruman and his orcs did not stand a chance.
