A respectable effort by Maeglin, but:
Maeglin-4 WKoA -8 Next up: Watcher in the Water vs. Sauron WinW is one of those interesting, autonomous forces, some for good and others for evil, in LOTR (like ents, Shelob, and Caradhras) that give both depth and a sense of realism (think of World War II motivations and interactions of U.S. and U.K.- common goal against nazis but diametrically opposed views of British colonialism). As Aragorn observed of Caradhras: Quote:
Ages: First- a loyal lieutenant to Morgoth Second-arguably the dominant player Third-an unseen but looming (except for PJ's eyeball) presence.

*looks over previous round*
*chuckles* It's quite clear: the male Downers are jealous of Maeglin!

Now, this is a really easy one. No contest.
The big squid-thing has to be one of the most awesome villains in the history of villainy. Such a fascinating character. So vitally important to the story– look how it changed the entire history of Middle-Earth by giving Frodo a scare and eating up Óin or Glóin or Sleepy or Happy or Grumpy or whoever it was. Not to mention the fact that it would probably make great calamari.  Why Tolkien had to go and name the book after some sissy jeweller when he could have called it The Watcher in the Water or The Thing With Lots of Tentacles or simply Squid! I'll never understand. I'm sure H.P. Lovecraft would be with me on this one. Nevertheless, for some reason I feel compelled to vote ++Sauron.

Immortal, uber-powerful Maiar and contemporary source of all evil in Middle Earth vs. squishy thing that Red Wings fans throw onto the ice?
Let me think... umm..... .... Oh, yeah. ++Sauron

Heck, just to give it a contest.
++The Watcher in the Water After all, come on. He is cool. He eats Óin. And he would eat a few more Boromirs too, had they not been cowards and fled inside Moria. The Watcher is certainly a cute octopus.
