You've got to be kidding. Morgoth? He is not half as interesting as Gríma. Come on! Gríma:

1. Throws Palantír out of the window
2. Stabs Saruman
3. Looks at Gandalf like mad when he asks him whether he does not want to leave Saruman
4. Eats Lotho (okay, we didn't want to hear that)
5. Was a noble of Rohan (combine with the one above) and served his master honestly in the beginning
6. Was seen riding with a group of Orcs
7. is son of Gálmód, which just sounds too cool
8. was being picked up from the saddle by Treebeard and later, he was swimming to Orthanc.

And, eventually, in one version of the Hunt of the Ring, he was caught and intimidated by the Black Riders, WK himself, no less.

Morgoth was just a Dark Lord. We have seen many of those, he invented lots of interesting dragons and such, but then, that's just his job. Gríma is a MAN with a LIFE. He is very interesting.

Battling dragons...

Hey Tuor, why don't you pit Smaug and Glaurung against each other next round?

That would be cool.

Not necessarily. Smaug is the coolest dragon ev@, while Glaurung is just a witless worm.

Actually that may have been a misunderstanding in
translation from Rohirric.
Gandalf asked Grima if he liked hobbits and he thought
Grima replied: "If they're prepared properly."

For me, it must be

++Morgoth

who, in Middle-earth, is the root of all evil -- unlike our real earth, wherein it has been amply proved in recent times that the love of all money does indeed appear to be the wellspring (sigh).

Hey come one Morgoth's boring while Gríma truly is a character! Do you really want this game to have such really "basic" finalists as Glaurung and Morgoth? Blaah...

I'd hate to see Morgoth winning too, but Wormtongue even more so. I can't believe he's made it this far and for him to eliminate The Marrer himself just isn't right. He ain't worthy to kiss the soles of ++Morgoth's iron boots.
