Entwife

Creature related to an ent, mentioned but never encountered in Lord of the Rings. The Entwives tended flowers in what is now the Brown Lands, whereas the Ents preferred the forests. A confusing idea - did ents and entwives produce little acorns? In which case, are they really one species, instead of two? And how did they manage it, if one lot lives in plains and the other in forests?

I always wanted to know what happened to the entwives and hoped they would turn up later in the book, but they didn't. Bugger.

Where the hell did the entwives go?

I've not seen him in three days - he's as elusive as an entwife.

You should tie up your loose ends - you don't want to leave entwives lying around.
