Esty, I bow to your argument about the Mewlips in the Bombadil poems. They are as creepy as any boggart (exceptin' Lalwende) or spriggan or malevolent spirit in folklore, if not more so. |
No, seriously, I think Bombadil is a cute, cuddly character!
I mean, he's like a big old bear but in yellow boots and a blue coat, and sounds anything
but creepy.
I'm creepy though, especially when I get up in a morning. Forget your Mewlips, you really don't want to encounter a grumpy Lalwende first thing in the morning
