I love the dragons! When Glaurung gives his speech to Turin at Nargothrond, I get shivers from his malice! They're cool, smart and tough. But, aren't dragons more of a Hobbit and Sil issue, and not LoTR?

BTW, how do you get the special characters so I can spell Turin's name correctly?
 
Giant Spiders blow the competition out of the water! Sure balrogs, dragons, and trolls are WAY stronger but that doesn't matter. "Stinging" an army of Giant Spiders would be incredibly cool! Props to Bilbo for kicking their...(i don't think i am allowed to say the desired teminology)... butts
 
I voted for trolls just because of those super cool dudes from The Hobbit.

Anyways, I just came to defend my theory. It is superly obviously possible for some black arrow of Eol's to have gotten stuck in Smaug. Eol was friends with Dwarves. Eol's specialty was making crazy and scary black weapons. He could have given some Dwarves some of his weapons. Dwarves travel. Dwarves fight each other and probably steal all of the really cool stuff they get from victims. Eol had servants that could have wandered off somewhere with some of his stuff after he left. Lots of ways for some arrow to get to that crazy Bard dude. The arrow definitely seemed special in some way. He did talk to the thing and said that he always ended up keeping the thing for some reason. oh well. Maybe Bard's just crazy.
 
Well, I know there's alot of button combos that do the letters(I know none), but I know another way

Step 1: Go to Start, then to Programs
Step 2: Go to Accessories
Step 3: Under Accessories you'll find a program called 'System Tools', go to that and click the Character Map

The Character map has all the wierd accent marks and stuff so you can write Fëanor, Éomer, Nazgûl, and many many more names and places with accents!
 
The trolls were REALLY dumb.

I mean seriously...their names were like Burt, Tom, and Harry or something.

Those are NOT proper troll names.

And not only were they major wusses, they were also dumb.
 
I think they were Burt, Tom, and William. Maybe not. How were they wusses? Anyways, they kind of have to be dumb. They're trolls. Not their fault. Too bad. I just liked them because they're so average joe-like. Not too many characters like that in LOTR type books. oh well. Evil Gandalf!
 
Yes...Burt, Tom, and William.
William Huggins!

That's so NOT a troll name!!!!!!

It was their names that I hated. It just was WRONG.
 
Gragglebad, Horgwat, and Thrunkshag or something mean and garbly sounding like that.
 
I'd have to go for the dragons on this poll.

Magnificent creatures they are, too bad that I could only find four of them named in tolkien's works.

Would anyone care to give it a shot, what the names of these dragons are?

I picked Dragons because they are like the original fantasy bad guy! Timeless fear! Plus, I just think that Dragons are really cool!
