Eureka! It's the Troll!

Perfect - that's the exact quotation I was thinking of, too!

It's the troll from 'Perry-the-Winkle.'

The hobbit connection is the hobbits in the poem, and the fact that Bilbo probably wrote it, (I think). (Although thinking about it, it mentions the Lockholes, which I am not sure existed as such before around the Scouring, so maybe Sam wrote it?)

I said a 'living thing,' although I suppose the characters in the poem are fictions *within* Tolkien's fiction.

Here's a little ditty I made up on the spot



Now we ride into the battle
And into the red morn
Our armors clink and rattle
Followed by sound of the horn

We wouldn't listen to their warning
For this is our choice to make
And with the dawn of the morning
This is the path we'll take

A creature of darkness stands in our path
He's tall and he brings fear
Large is his wrath
But it'll all end right here

We'll hold our own
And follow the words of old
We'll bring the enemy down
As the prophecy foretold

The Rohirrim, and the prophecy regarding the Witch-King?

Close, but not that. It's, shall I say, more selective than that.

Eowyn and Merry specifically, during the Pelennor? They were both warned against going to war, but chose to do so anyway, and it was their actions that destroyed the Witch-King.
