The "evil" animals of ME

[Gorin Icearms]

man-eating spiders, black squirrels, (evil squirrels?!)

Spiders.

I doubt they're "man" eating in the sense that they only eat people (like lions who have tasted human flesh). I'm sure the spiders would've eaten anything they could get their claws on. Elves, horses, humans, dwarves, hobbits, you name it.

Black squirrels

They're just squirrels, they're not evil. Like the fish in Gollum's pond, they're victims of their environment. Being black is just a survival tactic, like camoflauge. Black cats always live longer because they're a solid, dark color. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
