| − | '''Treants''' are powerful, ancient tree elementals and more primitive forms of the wise [[Ancient]]s that served under [[Cenarius]] in ages past. They are closely affiliated with [[druid]]s, and are often seen accompanying powerful druids and [[Keeper of the grove|Keepers of the grove]]. Many treants were driven mad during the [[Third War]]. The destruction of the forests, as well as demonic corruption, has driven them to lash out at anyone that approaches. Treants resemble large moving trees with faces. |

| − | == Description == |
||
| − | This creature looks to be a short, angry tree-man. Its branchlike arms end in three-fingered claws. Treants are small, tree-like beings. They are rarely seen in times of peace, but in days of conflict they patrol the forests and fling themselves at nature’s enemies. Treants do not speak, but they understand Darnassian.{{Cite|APG|214}} |

| − | === Combat === |
||
| − | Little is subtle about a treant’s tactics. They charge their enemies as soon as they can, slashing with their wooden claws.{{Cite|APG|214}} |
||

| − | == Corrupted treants == |
||
| − | These wretched tree-creatures were once proud, immortal defenders of [[Ashenvale]] forest. Yet, when the [[Burning Legion]] invaded the world in ages past, its demonic energies corrupted many of the ancient tree-men and drove them into shadow. Now these tortured creatures live only to spread their corruption and hatred of all living things.{{Cite|W3Man|141}} |

| − | The lowest level hostile treants (Level 2) can be found on [[Sunstrider Isle]], near the burning crystal and the pond. Level 13 Corrupted Treants can be found in [[Middenvale]] on [[Bloodmyst Isle]]. Level 26 [[Corrupted Treant]]s can be found just south of the border of [[Felwood]], in Ashenvale. In Felwood, treants can be found in [[Irontree Woods]], roughly level 52. There are a few treants which are for the most part [[passive]] in [[Feralas]]. Many hostile corrupted treants can be found in [[Dire Maul]] in the east wing. There are also treants defending [[Darnassus]]. Technically there are treants in [[Terokkar Forest]]: They were once trees, but following the explosion in [[Auchindoun]], the magic corrupted them and they became animated. In [[Outland]] you (as an Alliance player) introduce treants into the ecosystem in [[Blade's Edge Mountains]], while the [[Cenarion Expedition]] seeks to heal lands once belonging to the treants and ancients. |
||
| − | Treants have also been spotted in [[Crystalsong Forest]] and are both neutral and hostile. |

| − | ==Quests Introducing Treants to Outland== |
||
| − | *{{questlong|Alliance|66|Protecting Our Own (Alliance)}} |
||
| − | This quest in Blade's Edge Mountains calls for you to speed up growth of [[Grove Seedling]]s which, when fully grown, become [[Living Grove Defender]]s, neutral to the [[Alliance]] and hostile to the [[Horde]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Myth== |
||
| − | The Treants were likely inspired, in both name and overall nature, by the [[wikipedia:Ent|Ents]], a powerful race of sapient trees in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. "Treants" and variants appear in various fantasy media. The Ents themselves were probably inspired by the tales of talking trees found in various world mythologies, though the [[Ancient#Ancients_.28.22ancients.22.2C_demigod-like_trees.29|Ancients]] would be a closer Warcraft parallel to the mythological variety. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==In World of Warcraft== |
||
| − | Treants have always been present, both good and bad, in WoW. Additionally, the 41 point [[talent]] in the [[druid]] [[Druid talents#Balance|Balance]] tree, [[Force of Nature]], allows a Balance druid to summon 3 treants to fight on their behalf for 30 seconds (or until they or their master are killed) and has a 3 minute cooldown. Similarly, the top talent in the [[Druid talents#Restoration|Restoration]] tree is [[Tree of Life Form]], which allows Resto druids to ''become'' treants. |
