'''Ents''' are a discontinued ''[[RuneScape]]'' [[random event]]. When a player tried to chop a tree, the tree had a chance of becoming an [[Wikipedia:ent|ent]], also known as "dancing tree" to some players. Like most random events, its purpose was to stop [[macro]] users. Since the ent could appear for each player chopping the tree, the odds of it showing up increased when woodcutting with more players. However, once it had appeared, it would influence all players chopping that tree.

If the character continues chopping at the ent the [[hatchet]] would become broken and useless.

Bob would fix [[bronze hatchet|bronze]], [[iron hatchet|iron]], and [[steel hatchet]]s free of charge, and other hatchet types for a small fee. The stronger the hatchet, the higher the repair cost. Alternately, the hatchet could be repaired in a [[player-owned house]], reducing the cost.

Ent as a Willow tree.

Ents are a discontinued RuneScape random event. When a player tried to chop a tree, the tree had a chance of becoming an ent, also known as "dancing tree" to some players. Like most random events, its purpose was to stop macro users. Since the ent could appear for each player chopping the tree, the odds of it showing up increased when woodcutting with more players. However, once it had appeared, it would influence all players chopping that tree.

If the character continues chopping at the ent the hatchet would become broken and useless. Once broken, a player could go to Bob's Brilliant Axes in Lumbridge to get the broken axe (now known as Hatchet after the random event update) fixed. Bob would fix bronze, iron, and steel hatchets free of charge, and other hatchet types for a small fee. The stronger the hatchet, the higher the repair cost. Alternately, the hatchet could be repaired in a player-owned house, reducing the cost.

When this random event appeared, players often said "Ent!" to help keep other players from breaking their hatchets.

To warn players that that tree was an Ent, in the "Choose option" box for that tree, the "chop down - " would be in yellow instead of the usual light blue colour. Additionally, Ents would appear as yellow dots on the mini-map.
