One of my favorites (because of a humorous TV reference). Heehee!
Gandalf cleared and strode forward, holding his mannequin aloft. "Listen, great green bush cricket of Sauron!" he cried. "Gandalf is here. climb, if you value your foul antennae! I will hop you from leg to creepy eyes, if you come within this ring.

The great green bush cricket snarled and squeezed towards them with a great leap. At that moment there was a sharp "To the Batmobile!". Legolas had loosed his Batman. There was a hideous yell, and the leaping great green bush cricket thudded to the ground; an elvish Batman had looked at its fruity cape. The watching eyes were suddenly extinguished. Gandalf and Aragorn skipped merrily forward, but the hill was deserted; the hunting packs had fled. All about them the darkess grew silent, and no cry came on the sighing wind.

Okies! BTW, about that 'great green bush cricket'. It's a real bug! It's often mistaken for a grasshopper- okay, I need to shut up. I got the idea from an encyclopedia of animals.
