i think in LOTR and the hobbit, they have to be classed as D E M. This is because their ONLY appearances (unless i've forgotten one, please throw that fruit if I have [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) is rescuing characters when all seems helpless. The fact that they appear more than once doing this, and never otherwise, adds to the argument rather than detracts from it.
