Merry and Pippin were an integral part of the tale of the Ring. With their help, directly or otherwise, they managed to have a hand in some major events (Eowen,Ents,etc). I'm still not positive that the rock thrown down the hole "awakened" the Balrog. Maybe he was eating an orc and the stone bounced of his nose...I don't know.
The mischeivous hobbits brought light to the tale during some awfully dark spots, and overall, did more good than ill. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
