Lobella Sackville-Baggins,the biggest QUIDNUNC in all of Tolkiens works.

Saruman's actions before, during, and after the War of the Ring were Ruthless

Stinky Sam and Smeagol in the Marshes:

treacherous, for Gríma Wormtounge

I want the extra points, so Ugluk was Useful, at least to Saruman, taking Merry and Pippin captive and killing Boromir. Or maybe useless, since he failed to get them to Isengard. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Voracious describes a hungry oliphaunt.

Frodo was willing to risk his life to destroy the Ring.

X

Thranduil could be called xenophobic - he liked to keep strangers out of his neck of the woods.

Ioreth the yakker made quite an impression on the king.

Legolas ran with zest while chasing the captured Hobbits.

I don't know if it's been repeated(I had not the will to read all previous topics), so, forgive me if it is.

How about...occupation that you can apply to a Middle-earth personality. Like this...

Gandalf was the architect of Sauron's overthrow.

Thruingwethil was a Bat messenger of Sauron

Boromir was Captain of the White Tower(pretty obvious, isn't it?)

Thrain, Dwarf King under the Mountain

Fingolfin was a high Elvenking

Since when was being a Dwarf an occupation? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

F is for Farmer Maggot

G is for Gardner, a family of Hobbits.

Lots of scope for Hobbit surnames here, surely. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eomer was a Horsemaster. :P

well, dwarf is no occupation, but king of the dwarves is :P

Barliman Butterbur was anInn-keeper.

Fëanor was the quintessential Jewelsmith.

Galadriel, Gandalf and Elrond were keepers of the elven rings.

Aulë was the premier Lamp-maker.

Eöl the metalsmith made galvorn, which...you know. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Ioreth was a Nurse of sorts, in the Houses of Healing.

Treebeard was an Orthanc assaulter.

Denethor went crazy after he looked into the palantir.

Sauron was the Questioner of Pippin when Pippin looked into the palantir

The Two Towers, said by Pippin after Gandalf asks him what he saw:

"And then he came and questioned me"

Wow, I can't believe I got that [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Hopefully this counts as an occupation

Not too much call at the job centre for Orthanc assaulters and palantirs, though. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Hobson (Roper) Gamgee and Andwise Roper were Ropemakers in the Shire.

Denethor was steward of Gondor.

Pippin Took was Thain of the Shire.

UNDEAD king (on the paths of the dead)

Gothmog was the Minas Morgul's vice-mayor...of sorts... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Peregrin became Warden of the Westmarch.

Sauron was a Xerographer, because he copied Celebrimbor's plans for the Rings of Power to make the One Ring.

Well, best I could do with X. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Y...hard...what about someone being a yuppie?? Hmmm, maybe not [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Aaah! Aragorn was the yielder of Anduril. That´s kind of an occupation, don´t you think??

Surely you mean "wielder".

An alternative would be Yeoman, of which there are a number in LotR, such as Hama and Beregond.

As for Z, well Radagast was a Zoologist. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

New subject, anyone?

How about repeating one of the topics, without repeating any of the entries...
