'''Giant ents''' are level 78 [[Summoning familiars]]. They are [[forager]]s that produce oak logs, and have the ability to convert pure essence into either one earth or nature rune. Giant ents are also useful in the [[Farming]] skill.

'''Giant ent pouch''' is made by using a [[Pouch (Summoning)|Summoning pouch]] on a [[Summoning obelisk]] with 124 spirit shards, a Green charm and a [[willow branch]] in the [[inventory]]. Making the pouch earns 136.8 [[experience]] points. Using the pouch to summon a Giant ent gains 1.6 experience points, and costs 8 Summoning points.

[[File:Acorn_missile.gif|thumb|423px|A player activating the scroll.]]
'''Acorn missile scroll''' enables the use of the Acorn Missile special move for a Giant ent. Using the pouch on a Summoning obelisk creates 10 scrolls.

===Acorn Missile===
'''Acorn Missile''' is a [[Special moves|special move]] for Giant ents, which may inflict up to 187 life points to 3 opponents, as well as drop [[acorn]]s.

Currently, it hits an opponent (or anyone around the opponent) twice.

==Nature link==
If a [[pure essence]] is used on the Giant ent, it will turn into either an [[earth rune]] or a [[nature rune]]. However, experience is NOT gained from doing this.
It is also required to use each pure essence individually on the Giant ent which can be a very tedious effort.

A good method is to mine [[pure essence]] and give it directly to the Giant ent to convert. This can yield upwards of 400 earth runes and 500 nature runes an hour if the player is proficient at clicking.

==Farming==
Giant ents have the potential to double yield when harvesting fruit from [[fruit trees]], [[bush seed|bushes]], [[cacti]], and belladonna. The average bonus is a 50% yield boost. However, you will not receive experience for the bonus yield. For example, on average, a fruit tree will give 9 pieces of fruit instead of 6, however you will only receive experience for harvesting the 6.

==Dialogue==
{{hasdialogue|familiar}}

==Trivia==
*In "The Lord of the Rings" an Ent named Treebeard says "Don't be hasty." The dialogue of the giant ent may be a parody of this.
*As with many other creatures and objects, the Giant ent's examine is a pun.
*Even though [[Giant Ent|Ents]] have a tertiary item of a [[Willow Branch|willow branch]], they produce [[Oak Logs|oak logs]].
*In the Funorb game Armies of Gielinor, the Titan Ent uses the Giant Ent's image.
