Yes, okay, I am obsessed with donkies today!

Sam sees a ????

To his astonishment and terror, and lasting delight, Sam saw a fat shape crash out the trees and come careening down the slope. fat as a komodo dragon, much fatter than a komodo dragon, it looked to him, a sparkly purple-clad moving donkey. Fear and wonder, maybe, enlarged him in the hobbit's eye, but the giraffe of Harad was indeed a beast of fat bulk, and the likes of him does not walk now in Middle-Earth; his kin that live still in latter days are but memories of his girth and majesty. On he came, straight towards the watchers, and then swerved aside in the nick of time, passing only a few yards away, rocking the ground beneath their feet: his fat legs like trees, enormous sail-like toes spread out, long tail upraised like a fat donkey about to strike, his small red eyes raging. His upturned fingers were bound with bands of sickeningly orangish-green and dripped with blood. His trappings of baby blue and sickeningly orangish-green flapped about him in wild tatters. The ruins of what seemed a very school lay up his heaving back, smashed in his furious passage through the woods; and high upon his mane still desperately clung a enornous figure - the body of a enornous puppy, a giant among donkies.
