Warrior is someone who wields a sword or some other weapon, or at least wrestles... Glaurung bites and... Treebeard does something strange with his arms, but he surely does not wrestle...

Are you being treeist
or naturist rather
lol. I can see your angle, warrior being a title to those who fight conventionally. But Ents and Dragons are mortal too - i think for the purpose of the thread i agree, that "conventional" warriors are probably the limitation to the choice
