Ent

Ent (Bound Spirit)

Every elf has a spirit bound to them. This can be seen in their forehead. A crystal and manifestation of that spirit. These spirits do so to avoid taking form in either heaven or hell. They wish to not be involved in this eternal conflict between demons and divines. They give tremendous magical power to the elf and receive a safe place to stay in their spiritual form.

However, there are many more spirits than there are elves, so many times, they are forced to be bound to giant trees that work as protectors of the elven domain. The entire world becomes like a living being, entire forest being able to move and attack invaders, keeping demons and divines at bay.

A well prepared elven core is developed so that the spirit can inhabit it and be bound there, not to be forced into taking shape as a divine or a demon. The core is then put inside a tree. Over time, the tree gains a humanoid shape, with legs, arms and a head. An Ent final stage.

Ents only need water to continue on living. Growing stronger and taller as centuries go by. They can deliver powerful blows with their wooden limbs, and are capable of lifting insanely heavy objects and throwing at an even greater distance. Normal weapons might not cut it, as their whole being is made from a tree that gained humanoid shape. Fire on the other hand, greatly scares them and is very effective.

Their weak point is the same as their point of origin, the elven core, working as a heart for the Ent. Although the Ent would try to protect it at all costs, he would gladly give up its own life to protect the sanctuary he was placed upon. Since even if his core was destroyed, the spirit bound to it could still return and be bound again, giving birth to a new Ent.
