Yes Treebeard is the answer. If you follow my poorly written poem you can see it is Treebeard talking about Bombadil.

"Good Morning!" said the dragon. "You seem surprised."

Of Numenor I am
From there I ran
At the bidding of my father
My son took a fruit of the white tree
And with that we returned to ME
To flee from the wrath of iluvatar
Great kingdoms we wroth
from the furthest north to the deepest south
My sons and I lived
Of gil-galad I am a friend
We allied to bring to an end
the terrors of torturous Sauron
Who am I?

Once a lord among men
Now one of the Eldar race
My kinsman bore many names
My father's friend was the hidden King
My son now sails the among the stars
and sail, I once did too.
With my wife Fair, we departed for
The lands of the Undying.
Who am I?

Evil incarnate, yet unnamed,
I am for very many deaths blamed,
I lurk in shadows, hunting alone,
A master of myself, no greater evil do I follow.
But never am I wholly seen,
Never destroyed have I been.
And I am hungry.

No and no

The last time I checked Ungoliant and Shelob were both names. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)"> And Ungoliant died, too.

Right, of course! <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b">

It's not those &quot;tapper&quot; guys, is it?

Re: No and no

I guess I'm wrong. Those dudes who made the sound of a hammer when Pippin droped a stone into the water of that well in Moria? <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Re: No and no

Morgoth(i know he has a name) or a balrog and i know they followed somebody but i can't think of anybody else!

Re: No and no

You are close with the Balrog and the &quot;tapper guys&quot;, but a little before that.

Re: No and no

It isn't Caradhras again is it?
The Black Abyss which Gandalf and the balrog fell into?

Re: Riddles

Yes, Grond. The answer was The Watcher in the Water.
