Arborescent is an adjective. You could have Animated Arborescence, if you so wish...

Arboreal Athlete? Arboreal Allegro?

Arborescent Apparition or Arboreal Apparition
A derivation of Mith and Kath. Using alliteration and keeping in theme with the whole death idea.

While it is true that 'Arborescent' is an adjective, nothing stops a person from using a word newly, especially in terms of fantasy. We are talking about Perky's use of Tolkien's imagined species of walking, talking trees, after all. In the primary world, we might not have humans in tree form, which the noun form would suggest, but we're talking subcreation here.
I see no reason why Perky couldn't use Arborescent as a noun, especially since it implies a word play upon "Adolescent" which might seem suitable for Perky. Well, I don't know really, but I like the idea of thinking that our The Perky Ent is a teenager in perpetuum.  Animated Arborescent. It even includes the idea of perkiness!

Animated Arborescence, than?
If I ever reach 500 (this one is number 99, one to go to 100!) and beyond, and am offered a chance, I'd liek to play along my screenname too. Somethin about mortal (dead?) warriors, perhaps.

Animate Arboretum? but I guess there would have to be more than one of him.
