Tolkien creature (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

orc

ent

(Other definitions for ent that I've seen before include "Tolkien's Treebeard, for one" , "Tolkien tree-man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Washington Post, the USA Today, the Penny Press, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate and The New York Times.
