Tolkien tree creature (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ent

'tolkien tree creature' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(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 New York Times and the USA Today.
