Huorn

A Huorn, or talking Tree

Huorns were beings of the Taur Fangorn, Ents which had become wild, dangerous, and tree-like in the Great Darkness, and bitter towards non-plant life.

Huorns moved seldom and often lived for days as trees in one spot, but when they desired they could travel quickly and crawl with their root-feet. They retained speech, and were mastered and shepherded by the true Ents. Although wild, dangerous, and certainly not advisable to approach, they were not evil in quite the same sense as Old Man Willow, nor wise and helpful in the same sense as Treebeard, but they hated Orcs with a passion and sought to undo extremely foul deeds when they could.Those few of them who had inevitably fallen and become evil, enemies of all other life, were known as "Black Huorns" and even shunned by Ents.
