Hello folks, I was just reading all of these and I was really glad when somebody brought up Ungoliant and the giant spiders, I mean they are awesome! Throughout LOTR I think that the descriptions of Shelob had to have the greatest effect. I could smell the cave and the mustly smell of death, it was amazing. Didn't help that I'm slightly arachniphobic either, but whatever. Even though they are thoroughly amazing, I'd have to put my vote to the Balrogs. Amazing powerful creatures made of shadow and flame, with an astonishing amount of sentience. Essentially they represent a form of fallen angel. Orcs are cool, but they don't stand high on my list. Elves are truly my kind of people. Besides I am the brono thenin evair.
