Old Man Willow is a fictional character In J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, appearing in The Lord of the Rings. He was a willow tree in the Old Forest. He is portrayed in the story as a tree, albeit a sentient and evil one with various powers including hypnosis and the ability to move his roots and trunk. Some characters of the story speculate that he may have been related to the Ents, or possibly the Huorns, as the Old Forest was originally part of the same primordial forest as Fangorn. However, unlike Ents or Huorns, Old Man Willow is portrayed more like a tree, with roots in the ground, and without the ability to uproot himself and move from place to place.
Thanks to Inga for this amazing tree card with the hobbits!
