Samwise,

Mumaks: War Oliphaunts of the Southrons - men of the South who served Sauron in the War of the Ring (I think that this would include the Haradrim - see below)

Meara: I don't know exactly, but they are some kind of wonder horse, and Shadowfax was one (as was Champion [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ).

Olog-Hai: Uber-trolls bred for war (as Uruk-Hai were uber-orcs). I think they were at the battle before the Black Gate. There is a great article on whether they were subject to the same "turn-to-stone-in-sunlight" rule as your common or garden troll in the Articles section of this site.

Bounder: A sort of ad hoc militia in the Shire employed to "beat the bound", ie patrol the borders.

Haradim: The men of Harad (and Far Harad?) to the South, who served Sauron in the War of the Ring.

Hope that helps. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
