Ents are a RuneScape random event. When a player tries to chop a tree, the tree has a chance of becoming an ent, also known as a "dancing tree" to some players. Like most random events, its purpose is to stop macro users. Since the ent can appear for each player chopping the tree, the odds of it showing up increases when woodcutting with more players. However, once it appears, it will influence all players chopping that tree. To avoid losing your axe head click away, so you move away from the tree.
