Think they are stealing lore from great works? Maybe there will be a new language elder Ent but this will work best for those that have bad lag problems
"Think they are stealing lore from great works?"
Yes and no. It's clear that Tolkein's Ents were the source of most of the talking tree beings in modern fantasy, the Saxon word, "ent" means giant and the idea of trees that move on their own and talk pre-dates Lord of the Rings by quite a lot.
If they had used one of Tolkein's more novel concepts or a word that Tolkein made up (there were many, after all the point to those stories was to use his constructed languages), then it would be a bit more questionable.
Either way, it's not stealing. At the very worst it's an unattributed derivative work, and I'd rely on a lawyer to tell me if it was fair use or not. If it's not fair use, then it's copyright infringement, and that too is not stealing.
