Is it Gollum?

Blind Guardian 07-20-2010 09:11 AM

@Sally Would you consider Gollum evil?

Tuor in Gondolin 07-20-2010 10:59 AM

Is he a wose?

Estanesse 07-20-2010 02:30 PM

Did it help the fellowship in any way?

Pitchwife 07-20-2010 02:36 PM

Is it alive? - Yes
Is it a Man? - No

Is it in The Hobbit? - No
Did he live in the First Age? - Actually, scrap what I said above and make that a clear NO. I was just being nasty and allowing for a crazy theory which isn't substantiated by anything in the book. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
Did he take part in LotR? - Yes!!!
Is he a bird? - No
Ent? - No
Gollum? - No
Is he a wose? - We've established above that he's not a Man, which would include the Woses (or Drú-edain); therefore obviously No.
Did it help the fellowship in any way? - Yes, I think you could say he was helpful to some of them.

Indeed. Makes me wonder when any of you folks last visited a farm, zoo or circus... (Yeah, that was a hint!)

EDIT: x-ed with Estanesse (hi, pleased to meet you!), question & answer added above.

Estanesse 07-20-2010 02:57 PM

Is it Shadowfax?

Pitchwife 07-20-2010 03:03 PM

(This is getting rather too long to repeat all the Q&A every time, I trust you're all able to look 'em up above)

Is it Shadowfax? - No, but getting warmer!

Blind Guardian 07-20-2010 03:06 PM

oliphant

like elephant?

Estanesse 07-20-2010 03:20 PM

Did it pass the dark door?

Pitchwife 07-20-2010 03:31 PM

Oliphaunt? - No
Did it pass the dark door? - I suppose you mean the entrance to the Paths of the Dead? No, it (or he) came nowhere near the place.

Tuor in Gondolin 07-20-2010 03:41 PM

Is he Bill the Pony?

Blind Guardian 07-20-2010 03:43 PM

Is it BIll?

Edit: darn...

Okay then, Fatty Lumpkin!

Pitchwife 07-20-2010 03:46 PM

Is it Bill the Pony? - Sorry, no. But you're getting closer.

Blind Guardian 07-20-2010 03:50 PM

Fatty Lumpkin?

Pitchwife 07-20-2010 04:15 PM

...and we have a winner!

Well done, BG - Fatty Lumpkin it is! Take the thread!

(To clear up the First Age ambivalence up there: considering that Bombadil has been around for a long, long time and we're never told how old Fatty was, I had that madcap idea that Iarwain Ben-adar's mount could perhaps have been some equally enigmatic long-lived beast along the lines of e.g. Huan or Thorondor; but there's really nothing pointing in that direction beyond his connection with ole Bombadillo, and nothing indicating that he was anything but a regular pony. Sorry if anybody was led astray!)

satansaloser2005 07-20-2010 04:18 PM

Derp. I just realized how stupid my guess was. That's what I get for not reading more carefully. *blushes*

Blind Guardian 07-20-2010 04:50 PM

yEah! When he said bill I thought fatty!

Okay let's see! GO!
