Re: Hmm...

Hmm...why can't anyone spell Cuivenen? <img src=rolleyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes">

Ungoliant fits the picture quite well, although any of the dragons does too. Glaurung was [created?] as a servant of Morgoth. An evil servant; Glaurung (and for that matter any of the other dragons) did not know kindness. Glaurung and Smaug unmercifully killed, as did Ancalagon (in the rather short passage describing him <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b"> ) and Scatha for an example.

Although, the Ring. The Ring was created as a sort of Sauron-container, an object symbolising the essence of evil and power that Sauron had concentrated into it; which, IMO, makes it a purely evil object; never starting out as good or with a decent purpose (as did Morgoth and Sauron along with the Balrogs etc.) From my perspective, however, it was an animate object...which would make it far more evil than Morgoth and Sauron. But - from this there arises the fact that it could only enhance power and not be a power of its own, and without a powerful wielder it was nothing; although to some extent this is not true. And to some extent it is, and I am rambling on for no reason. :sigh: <img src=ohwell.gif ALT=":/">

To save a debate, I shall pursue this point no further. Case closed <img src=biggrin.gif ALT="">
