Treetrunk

Treetrunk, also known as Argus V, is a fictional planet created by Alan Dean Foster for his Humanx Commonwealth universe. The planet has large polar icecaps that cover the major of the surface. Only the equatorial regions are habitable by humans, the thranx and AAnn have no interest in colonizing the planet due to it cold temperatures, though to humans the equatorial climate is a cool temperate.

There is no native sentient race on Treetrunk, none ever having developed. Five years after human colonization, all 600,000 humans living on the planet were killed by the Pitar as the opening to the Humanx-Pitar war.

The planet was first formally introduced in Dirge.
