I should think that Orcs,Goblins,Elves were around before but creatures like Hobbits,The Balrog and Gollum were from his own imagination. Of course The Balrog is a demon and demons have been around for thousands of years. I should think the lands were his own imagination too. I'm not much of an expert though [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
