Odd man out physical features

[Keeper of Dol Guldur]

Try this one, it's probably easy:
Frodo
Ugluk
Legolas
Azog
Turin

[Telchar]

Frodo... at the end of the 3rd age only had 9 fingers?

[Keeper of Dol Guldur]

no, but keep trying. Think race differences....

[Nuinrog]

None of them are of the same race.

[Dwarin Thunderhammer]

They were all short except for legolas?

[Dwarin Thunderhammer]

Wait, it's the other way around. *smacks head* They were all TALL except for frodo. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

They were all part-elf apart from Frodo?

[Telchar]

All lost their father at an earli age except Legolas and I am in doubt about Ugluk

[Keeper of Dol Guldur]

No, no and no, but that part elf one was pretty good, I didn't think of that. Maybe I should have included another hobbit....

[Melly]

Lego was blond???
smilies/biggrin.gif

[Keeper of Dol Guldur]

Damn, I didn't think of that either. No, but I hope someone gets it sooner or later. It's something you might "hear" about but not think of at first.

[Elrian]

Frodo never wore shoes!

[Keeper of Dol Guldur]

Damn! Yet another, crap. Go back to actual body parts.

[Melly]

sorry about my previous reply..just remembered its never mentioned what colour lego's hair was...damn orlando bloom,making me think of blond hair...grr...

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Um, Frodo had curly hair?

[Keeper of Dol Guldur]

Wow, another one I didn't guess. I really should have put another hobbit in instead of Ugluk.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

I had to reply only because I know the answer! Legolas was the only one with pointy ears.

[Orome]

frodo had hairy feet

[Joy]

Well, Ugluk was a Urûk-Hai, which is a crossbread. The others were full-blood of whatever race they belonged to.

[Orome]

i think the original asker forgot about this so anyone can take it i guess

[merlilot]

think movie characters:

Frodo
Aragorn
Gandalf
Merry
Elrond

easy, it think
And if you wanna know, I thnk the full-blood think was good.

[hobbitlass]

You said think movie characters....
Frodo is the only one that is not played by an actor close to his own age.

[hobbitlass]

actually that's a stupid answer, now that I think about it... isn't Elrond a couple of thousands of years old?!
Okay, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) is the only one not wearing a wig.

[merlilot]

Actually, I forgot where I was going with that one smilies/redface.gif ...the wig thing sounds good...take it hobbitlass!

[hobbitlass]

okay.....

Shelob
Faramer
Beren
Sauron
Frodo

[Legolas]

Mm...a few that could apply I guess.

Sauron was the only one who could change his alter his physical features upon command?

[Telchar]

Faramir never had hands or fingers or claws bit or cut off - the others did.

Sauron: finger cut off by Isildur
Frodo: finger bit of by Gollum
Beren: Hand bit off by Carcharot
Shelob: claw cut off by Sam

[Legolas]

Blast!

I pondered that, but for some reason, Beren's incident did not occur to me, so I ruled it out.

[hobbitlass]

yep Telchar, that's what I was thinking of.
Your go...

[Telchar]

OK


Aldarion
Tour
Earendil
Elros
Tar-Minastir

[Salix]

Here's my guess: They all sailed or explored except Elros?

[Telchar]

good idea - but no smilies/frown.gif - remember the thread name...

[Susan Delgado]

Earendil was the only one who could (and did) change his shape?

[Telchar]

he could?? he did? please tell me! Where is that written? Earendil the Mariner????

Still of course that not it Susan as I didnt know it!

[Susan Delgado]

Well, after went to Aman to plead for help against Morgoth, he changed into a bird so he could get back to Beleriand. After that, he set sail into the sky, becoming a Star, so he could keep Beren and Luthien's Silmaril out of Morgoth's clutches.

edit: All right, I was wrong about him turning into a bird,that was Elwing. But he did become a Star in order to protect the Silmaril.

How about, Earendil was the only one given a choice of Doom?

[ October 06, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

[Glorfinniel the Lost]

Was it Eärendil since he had a Silmaril bound upon his brow and the others did not?

Btw Susan, could you tell me which book that information is from? That's an interesting piece of info I didn't know smilies/smile.gif

[Susan Delgado]

It's from the Silmarillion, chapter 24, "Of the Voyage of Earendil and the War of Wrath"

[Telchar]

no and no - And Earendil didnt 'become a star - He sails the heavens in his ship Vingilot still wearing the Silmaril on his brow and as a lil help the Silmaril has nothing to do with the answer... Here is a little hint: All og them, but one, has something special about him.

[Susan Delgado]

From ME perspective, he did.

Tuor had no Elven blood

[Telchar]

Fair enough Susan - difference in interpretation should be allowed smilies/smile.gif and your answer was perfectly correct - no elvish blood in Tuor. Please go on smilies/smile.gif

[Susan Delgado]

Someone else go; I can't think of anything.

[Telchar]

I have to agree with Susan, that they can be pretty hard to come up with when it has to do with physical features ...

[GildorInglorion]

I will help you out

Cirdan
Gandalf
Gloin
Legolas

Not to hard, Cirdan can cause confusion if you haven't read Tolkien in a while

[ October 18, 2002: Message edited by: GildorInglorion ]

[Telchar]

one guess would be that Legolas didn't have a beard.

[GildorInglorion]

Absolutely correct, you go ahead!
