Leafless Ents
Leafless Ents are a group of Ents that have awakened near Lord Aiden's Mansion due to high concentration of ambient magic in the area. They have spent their entire life trapped in the illusion that shrouds the mansion and cuts off natural sunlight. As a result they appear gnarled and dry, and none of them has ever had any leaves.
The Ents are not hostile, but rather curious about new arrivals.
The Ents are befriended by Zoryy Feathermoon and Butt Butterscotch who use their healing magic to make them sprout leaves and flowers for the first time in their lives.
The Ents barely speak a crackly version of Sylvan. When they speak, they appear to be speaking in unison so the individual speaker cannot be identified.
They appear young, looking an estimated 60-70 years old. They never fully matured because their growth was stunted inside the sunless and lifeless illusion.
