Well, Gollum rather obviously (who wouldn't want to plummet into lava?)

Also, even though dragons were mentioned, no one said anything about Ancalagon. He was slain by Earendil the Mariner, and his bulk was so huge that when his limp form fell from the sky, it took the towers of Angband that he fell on with him (not entirely sure if it was Angband or another evil outpost. Wasn't Tol-in-Gaurhoth). All in all, he was a heavy fellow, who weighed a lot, and died. That's pretty awesome in itself (or not).

Hmm...let me think of some others. Was going to say Nienor, but that would be both obvious and repetetive. I guess you could say that the Witch-King of Angmar's death was very awesome, despite being done in by a lady and hobbit (nothing against either *nervous laughter*)

Now then...more...more...thinking....
