Hi Morsul,
glad to see you've got this thread running again.
Really nice riddle, requiring lots of hmm-ing and ha-ing but I think I have it!
The Barrow-Wight-
Age unknown, yet I am aged - obviously no spring chicken
No food needed, yet I feed - on unwary hobbits?
No ears have I, yet I listen to music - well, a skull has no ears, and the tune of 'Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo'
When I'm angered, I'm given a pillow - Threw me for a bit until I remembered Tom's previous encounter with the wight in 'Adventures'...
