I know not the age of the word Treant, but I would bet dollars to doughnuts
that's what happened.  However, I've lived longer referring to them as treants
than ents, so I'll most likely stick to it.  I WAS, after all, a huge AD&D
freak in my dark ages (as opposed to my medieval ages, which is where I am
now ;)

Very cool MOC, Anthony.  I'm going to link it from my Tolkien links page.

Glad you liked it!  I'm honored that you like it enough to link to it.

Thanks for the response!
