Regarding the entwifes being mentioned on The Two Towers, I must have missed it.

Was just thinking that. Also the ents' lack of knowledge regarding hobbits makes them more likely.
Add in the Shire is some of the remaining unspoiled "gardens" |
But that can't be what the person ("Teleporno") quoted in the original post was talking about- if indeed he wasn't merely a troll, which is the vibe I'm getting.
Speaking of which, I'm inclined to think the creature described by Sam was also merely a troll- but did Tolkien ever clarify that? Anyone know?
