Creatures of Middle Earth

Started by sauron7 pages

no i mean there is valinor...sea...M:E.....sea......then the dark land/wilderness

Yep... I'd say valinor... looooots of sea... me.... bit less sea... darkland.

The only thing i found about darkland is that there were woods growing (thus probably also creatures living there) and that in the very east there are the gates of the morning and I think the sun burnt the region around there.
bit offtopic, i fear... finally some nice discussion and now its offtop -.-

no because we are wondering what creatures are there arent we...we just advanced the topic

Ok 😛
I dunno why but of some reason I think that there were many birds... I have no idea why... I cant remember reading anything by Tolkien mentioning further information about the Dark Lands except their name and their forming.

well all i got of it on encyclopedia of arda is

"on the first map of earth by tolkien, a large southern continent appears with the words dark land emprinted on it, no more is said of this land apart from its forming, it is in no way related to the drk land/black land of mordor"

He says something more in the Ambarkanta, I think... but nothing concerning creatures living there.

Does Tolkien mention these creatures with the horns pulling Grond ( 😍 ) in LoTR? I can't remember but I think so... I'm not sure. They were also cool... and the Mûmakil in the scene where they came out of the dusk around 😱 I loved that.

😄 well i love any scene where the heros are shown another near impossible task they must perform (kill the mumakil) and they know its near impossible too, but they go for it...giving all out effort, even some suicidal effort, inspiring stuff....🙂

Yes very true, now you see Sauron this is why you're mentioned twice in my dudes and dudettes list.

dudettes? intresting... i always get slapped when i call a girl a dudette.

whats up wit that?

but yes typing names of hooded evil coolness beings, over and over again, is a feat i only hope one day i can master.

well *whispers,* i can help with that *looks around, make sure no-one is listening* all you do is press the N, then the A then Z the G then U then L

Ough you forgot the ^ - key 😛 ok i also always forget it
so

NAZGÛL! NAZGÛL!!

ok i know this is a bit nooby but yeah u guys have like memorised tolkien and i have an insatiable thirst for knowledge about tolkien so what exactly is the nazgul is it the things the guys ride or is it the guys themselves and if it is the guys what are those things called that they ride(if u can understand that) also ents own they are mad quickbeam is awesome and treebeard

That cant be really answered.

It's originally a name for the wraiths themselves; but Tolkien mostly uses it when they are flying on their winged beasts OR when they are uncloaked shadows while he rather names the riding ones (in FoTR)Ringwraiths - though "Ringwraith" is only a translation of "Nazgûl". So Nazgûl can be used for all of the "guys" (it's singular and plural in one), whether riding or flying or whatever.

well anyway even though the ents are sort of a race i still think they are the best creatures along with eagles ents master ground eagles master air

ents master the ground? i could wipe out all of fangorn forest all you have to do is start amazingly big forest fire 😛

oh by the way exa remember the discussion on whether nazgul had bodies or not, or are they simply invisible

they do have bodies they are just invisible

gandalf, fotr, p 62

"a mortal frodo, who keeps one of the great rings does not die, but he does not grow or obtain more life he merely continues, until at last, every minute is a weariness, and if he often uses the ring to make himself invisiblehe 'fades': he becomes in the end invisible permanently, and walks in the twighlight under the of the dark power that rules the rings. yet sooner or later- later if he is strong or well meaning to begin with, but neither strong will or good purpose will last- sooner or later the dark will devour him"

lol quite sauron but i agree about your point about the fading thing because i can remember thats why gandalf said gollum was still alive but looked so pale and disgusting his body was being warped by the ring but ents would kill i think in a 1 on 1 with most things ground excluding such things as shelob or balrogs cos they are in a seperate class(being much mnore powerful)
