Actually Barlogs and elves have a rather long history. During the first age Barlogs killed Feanor, (The most skilled of all the Noldor) Fingon, (High King of the Noldor) Ecthillion, (Protector of Gondor) Glorfindel (1st Age incarnation, personally I believe he was sent back during the 2nd age), and many other "Lesser" Elves. Legolas says in regard to the Barlog "Of all elf-banes the most deadly, save the one who sits in the Dark Tower." Suffice it to say Legolas and all elves had good reason to be afraid of Barlogs.

Yet the lies that Melkor, the mighty and accursed, Morgoth Bauglir, the Power of Terror and of Hate, sowed in the hearts of Elves and Men are a seed that does not die and cannot be destroyed; and ever and anon it sprouts anew, and will bear dark fruit even unto the latest days.
