You people are truly insane.
Here I was, thinking 'why would a thread debating the colour of Legolas's hair reach 3 pages and still going strong?' and meanwhile you were here discussing the lesser-known fauna of Middle Earth (I mean the one that's not already covered in the Warg and Warg-Rider Appreciation thread. Yep, I checked out your much-advertised thread, Eomer. I was thinking it's time you placed a pop-up: when people log on the Downs, they'd be warned that in order to avoid an unfortunate accident they might have today, they should check out said thread at once
).
But returning to the subject at hand, since you're all so learned in the subject of Legolas's hare, please tell me what part did the hare play, if any, in the quest. Because, even if he was a tiny hare, we must remember that 'even the smallest animal can chage the course of history'.
