That helps, but it still doesn't fit too neatly.

The Stoors are the broadest and heaviest (fattest), but the only mention of holes is made in reference to the Harfoots. Since it is said that all hobbits are inclined to be fat, I'm going to plunk...

Silmaril I'll take it!

Ancalagon:

Surnamed "the Black,"
Mightiest of the dragon-host,

Still trying

The Woses, represented by Ghân-buri-Ghân? He is fat and not tall, and a Wild Man - not quite like the rest of Men of Middle-Earth. The only part I can't find a reference for is "in holes like...

a perfectionist popping in

Gandalf's ring was Narya, the ring of fire. Nenya was Galadriel's ring, the ring of water. And Elrond's was Vilya, the ring of air, and the mightiest of the three.

I've just posted, and Lissi and Brander have made it into the Inner Sanctum.

I'm afraid I've gotten dreadfully confused on the tactical situation. I muddled through it as best I could, but if...

Lissi

Morn was, on ordinary occasions, the most placid mare Lissie had ever met. Unfortunately, this was no ordinary occasion. There was no need to urge her
