Bauglir

He never led any attacks after the 2 trees.
I think Fingolfin wounding him 7! times [not to mention and eagle beaking him in the face], and even more so Melian's daughter [!!] putting him to sleep in his own throne room , [there you go Raw] taught him that his enemies were serious and bold and usually could not be cowed in fear.

It would have been interesting to see Feanor go toe to toe w/ him.
I think he would have done more damage but been tricked by Bauglir in the end and still squashed [and w/out an eagle to salvage his remains, due to his direct rebellion and insolence to Manwe].

The Girdle , reminds me how much Galadriel was really the Melian of the 3rd age . She was probably formed in wisdom more by her than anyone else [and they both had{sometimes} racist husbands to contend with]!
She must have learned the girdle trick straight from Melian [which shows high in her cofidence Galadriel was].
