Both Sam and Eowyn were protecting someone when they went all monster-slayer, but... I feel like Glaurung just happened to be wandering past Brethil when Turin killed him? So not that either.

Was Eowyn using her own sword when she fought the Witch-King? The others weren't.

Well, for all intents and purposes, Gurthang was Turin's sword, for it was remade for him. And he was protecting his wife/sister along with entirety of Brethil inhabitants.

But no, what I had in mind is more on the general side of things.

But not, I assume, as general as 'they're all monster-slayers'?

I mean... they all killed non-humanoid monsters with swords. That's actually pretty specific, when you get down to it. Balrogs and trolls are humanoid, Smaug died to an arrow, Ungoliant isn't ever said to have gotten stabbed...

You're up.

Huinesoron · 06-01-2019, 04:22 AM

Um, okay, let's try this:

Feanor
Eol
Tar-Aldarion
Tarannon

Probably pretty easy.
