Are the words treant or ent as in the treet giants copyrighted to D and D or Tolkien respectively?

Ent is a word that comes to us from at least medieval times if not earlier from Norse/Germanic sources. To those people Ent meant Giant - like a race of human-like beings that were 16' tall. To use Ent in this context is not copyrighted by anyone because it was imagined by an anonymous, long-dead person from historical Germany or Scandinavia.
Tolkien took the word Ent and applied it to a race of tree-people in his books. This makes the use of the word Ent, when applied to walking, sentient trees with eyes the copyright of Tolkien's estate. When applied to mere Giants or anything else - like Ent brand coffee (which doesn't actually exist, just an example), it is not copyrighted. Just don't stick a picture of a tree-person on your coffee bag and call it Ent brand.
D&D tried to use Ent in its very early work (early 1970s) but Tolkien lawyers (who have a litiguous reputation) sued TSR, the owners of D&D. TSR changed the name of their tree-people to Treant, a word they just made up but sounds pretty close to Ent. TSR never has had any copyright on Ent.

In dota What are the best items for treant protector?
- Boots of travel- Refresher Orb- Radiance- Heart of Tarasque- assault cuirass- Sange and Yasha / butterflyFor me, you should use phase boots, mask of madness, battle fury, radiance, heart of tarasque, and desolator. This will help treant protector to attack fast because he is too slow. But, he has a big armour.

Where can you find all the cards on castlevania?
To obtain the cards, you must beat certain enemies. To make it easier to obtain the cards, wear clothing with high luck and(if you have it), the Thief Ring. 1. Joker card: Enemy No. 39 Killer Clown The joker has 2 stars rarity. To find the Killer Clown, use a warp to go to the Great Stairway and enter the Nation of Fools painting. Travel to the bottom left of the map. On your map it should be a medium size square. Kill the Clown until it drops the joker. 2. Ace of Diamonds card: Enemy No. 40 Coppelia The Diamond has 2 stars rarity. To find the Coppelia, use a warp to go to the Great Stairway and Enter the Natio of Fools painting. Warp to the warp at the top of the map. Everything should be upside-down. Run into the room to the right of the warp. (The cannon shoots a Coppelia as well!) 3. Ace of Clubs card: Enemy No. 70 Treant The Club has 2 stars rarity. To find the Treant, use a warp to go to the Tower of Death and enter the Forest of Doom painting. Can you see the first save point? The room above it is a rectangle. You must go to that room. There you will find Killer Bees and a Treant. 4. Ace of Spades card: Enemy No. 111 Yorick The Spade has 2 stars rarity. Uh...well...I can't remember where Yorick is, but I have a pretty good feeling that it's somewhere in one of the paintings in the room where Brauner's paintings is. In the Master's Keep. That's the room to the left of where you cured Stella and Loretta of being a vampire. Go on. Guess. 5. Ace of Hearts card: Enemy No. 107 Nyx The Heart has 2 stars of rarity. I know where the Nyx is. Definitely. I marked her on my map. Use a warp to go to the Master's Keep. Run to the room left of where you cured Stella and Loretta. Enter the 13th Street painting. Find the 2nd save room(in the middle of the map). Go out of the save room. Jump up into the room that looks like a rectangle.(BEWARE: NYX CAN POISON YOU IF SHE TOUCHES YOU!) I also used Nyx to master my Javelin(another quest set by Wind/Eric). Hope this helped and good luck trying to get all the cards!

When your opponent leaves the lane unattended call MIA, then you can do any of several things:a) clear a wave with a e-q combo, and push turret like there's no tomorrow. When you are overextended, or you suspect a gank, use Sapling Toss for a free ward in River Bush and/or Tri-Bush.b) Teleport-gank another lane if the summoner spell is off cooldown and if said lane is in a good situation to gank.c) Go back to shop and buy items.d) stay in lane and farm safely if you do not know where 3 or more members of the enemy team are. They might all show up to push your tower, and if you are not there, it is your fault if you lose your tower.After you have broken the enemy turret, push the lane hard, then go help your team. At this point you become an off-tank for your team; filling the role of the tank when needed, and playing like a bruiser when the tank is around.For League Of Legends Champions Guide : elohell.net
