Favourite Character of all the Tolkien books

@Discos - nearly

Squishy is the Mûmakil leader, yea,

But Spikey is the CUTEST of all orcs 😱 the one with the green cat's eyes in Moria 😂

The elf in the vision is called Figwit 😂

À propos, elf, I forgot the nameless dead elf in the battle of the Hornburg...

and BOROMIR 😱

I said he was the leader of the "Mûmakil", as I remember you saying once before

ah the cute orc in Moria, he was a funny creature,

mmm.....my fav orc is perhaps the one in the mirror of Galandrial, the one who slews a hobbit and has blood over its mouth.

or the cheeky one who got its head chopped off in TTT "what about them.....their fresssh"

my fav is legolas or gimli

Ok I voted for Sauron

My absolutely fav characters besides the Dark Lord are
the Witchking

Túrin Turambar and Níniel
Maeglin
Eowyn
Maglor, Maedhros and Caranthir the Dark
Daeron, Rúmil, Dírhaval, Pengolodh of Gondolin, King Parmaite and all the other "lore-masters" and poets
Ar-Pharazôn the Golden
Nienna
Míriel Serinde

and last but not least 😛 Larry, Spikey and Squishy 😄

They asked for one, Exa.. 😛

Lol seriously though my favourite characters are the hobbits
not for the shallow reason that they are hot, and wtaching the DVD in bed is life hidden pleasure. 😘

But for the fact, that in the books* when they first start off. they are the innocent travellers, they are after all, only going to bree.
but during the story the hobbits grow, not litterally of course, excpept merry and pippin 😛, and they mature in a way. they lose their innocence *looks at shadowy* and become in a sense...the real heroes, i believe they resemble something much more than an adorable 3 foot tall little hairy man, the hobbits are the reluctant heroes of the story, peace loving creatures who 'never do anything out of the ordinary' until their spirits are kindled.
Showing that everybody should fight for what they believe in, and a better world

I thank you!

* Yes books--there lotr books you know!

Just one?

I pick Gandalf. Give the guy his props. Great name, style coming out of his ears, a good heart, a firm, confident leadership style, an excellent horseman, an accomplished raconteur, skilled with the blade, wise, well-read, articulate, multi-lingual, funny, humble, resourceful, gracious, diplomatic when necessary, but harsh and plain-spoken when appropriate. What else? Driven, a self-starter, an ascetic in areas that aided his mission, but able to appreciate the small pleasures of life like good food, a good pipe of tobacco, and good conversation. He had a clear vision of who he was and where he was going, and rarely wavered from it. A few more: gumption, grit, determination, and an uncomplaining spirit. He even knew when and how to bow out gracefully. And please... how great is it that his favorite hobby was Hobbit-lore?

Favorite Silmarillion character? Keep your fancy-pants Elves -- I'll take Húrin any day. 😛

you know, if i didnt see you write gandalf, i would have thought you were talking about me 😛

And what kind of poll is this? 😠 There's no Boromir, no hobbits, no Gollum, not even Gandalf~!

LOL..I guess we just have to say who our favorite character is even if he/she isn't in the poll. 🙂

I know, I know... *sigh* but I just can't chose just one ^^

*tries to decide* Morgoth, Sauron, Wiki, Beleg, Túrin, Nienna or Pharazôn? 6'_'

Ok... Not Pharazôn though he is a very interesting Númenórean and Sauronist... and has a wonderful name ^^... he is a little too boring.

Not Nienna because she does nothing except for crying... there is no real story.

Not... errrh... Witchy... because *thinks* *can't think of anything* because, I mean, he is just Witchy ~ probably a Black Númenórean 😱 A Sauronist 😱 who has a lovely Ring 😱 and a lovely horse ^^ but still, he's just Witchy.

Not Morgoth because he has nearly no character and appears mostly in a distanced, far-away-danger -style, that's boring

Not... ekh, who is left?? Not cry not my beloved Beleg... he's too much of a hero. Prissy elf. He is too good.

So, who else was there... Sauron and Túrin... HM.
*desperated* *cant decide*

*ages later*
ok, not Sauron, because of his evil lets-kill-Gorlim-The-Unhappy-by-making-him-think-there-is-a-way-to-revive-his-dead-wife-idea *cries* evil Sauron 🙁

Túrin then,
Though he killed one of my other nearly-fav characters 🙂

one?

Gwaihir then, seeing as he did save Gandalf....what like most of the time 🙄

@sauron, thats quite true, they just wanted to get to Bree, nothing insane hardcore cocaine style

But as usual the 2 best characters in his books for me is Thorondor & Gwaihir 😄

I Concur 😄

although I would have liked to of read more about Landroval, all we get to know is that he picked up smelly sam on ruins of the doom

Feanor and all of his sons 😈
Glaurung and Gothmog
Glorfindel (two in one 🙂 )
Luthien Thinuviel
Galadriel

I would like to of read more on Iluvatar as well, not much said about him.

should have had a cigar and a brandy glass 🙄

Sauron/Thauron/Gorgor

who's this Thauron? It sounds like Tauron, but that's a name for Orome, a vala. And Gorgor means horror, or dread. Could it be Gorthaur? That's Sindarin verson of it meaning terrible dread

Sauron/Sauro/Súro//Thauron < saura (etym. *THUS) "foul, abominable";
Sindarin equivalent is "thaw" or "thû", hence also Sauron's second Sindarin name "Thû" [besides "Gorthaur" you already named][cf in the original Lotr Frodo cries "Gurth i Morthu"="death [to] the black Thû"]

Tauron in contrary comes from "Taure", meaning "forest" ["lord of the forest"] < *TÂWAR
Though it could theoretically also come from "Taura", "mighty" < *TUR

😱

whoa, that's a lot of info. I didn't know about the th-->s change. You really know your stuff
