Five reasons to like Treants

World of Warcraft's portrayals of things are noticeably cartoony when compared to real life equivalents. Treants and druids in Tree of Life form are no different, being any combination of cute, adorable, cuddly, pitiable and likeable.

1. Stubbiness
The classic treant model resembles a wide (for its height) sapling with short legs. Not only would they be appealing to hug, they would find it somewhat difficult to run around. In fact, the druid Tree of Life form formerly suffered a movement impairment.

The new Tree of Life form features longer legs, but still retains its width (in fact, it is much wider!).

2. Kick-ass dance routine
Treants can do the Twist! And do it well they can! This is very surprising given their lignin content.

3. Body odour
Unlike most faunæ, treants do actually smell very good. The odour, depending on the species, may be somewhat reminiscent (mind the pun) of the crisp alpine air in the morning. This deodorising effect is very welcome in a room full of adventurers who have never bathed.

4. Healing utility
Restoration druids are very capable healers in both PvE and PvP environments. In addition to a strong HoT (heal-over-time) capacity, their mere presence reduces the surgical pain of heals for allies.

5. Economic utility
Applebough <Fruit Vendor>.

Treants can bear fruit! Not only is it delicious, it is also a very important part of a balanced (mind the pun) diet. Applebough, trading in Dalaran, supplies a comprehensive range of consumable fruit, from Shiny Red Apple to Savory Snowplum, with a potential to expand. Just stay away from its Fresh Apple Juice...
