No, he thought up basically non of it. He was a historian and one of the greatest studier of Beowolf. He basically rewrote a legend that the Celtics once told. The creatures are not his, but the Ring I do not know. The elvish language and stuff was his, but elvish was actually started off as ....The language of the people of Finland (I'm terrible at spelling that stuff) a small villiage that only the elders live, that's where Tolkien got most of his ideas ^^ Hope this helps.
