Elder treants are the undisputed rulers of treantkind and firm defenders of the forests.
Like normal treants, they combine the features of trees and humans, although it is difficult to discern their facial features with a casual glance.
Elder treants have been known to animate entire groves to seek revenge on nearby communities that use fire indiscriminately and destroy part of the forest.
Treants are very intelligent and often speak a number of languages including their own, elf, dwarf, common, and a smattering of just about all other humanoid tongues (at least enough to say "Get out of my trees!").
Treants are intolerant of evil, particularly when fire and the wanton destruction of trees is involved.
Treants often sleep for long periods of time (anywhere from a few days to several years) during which short roots grow into the ground beneath them gathering water and minerals from the soil.
