I vote
++Scatha I would vote for Ungoliant, but not Shelob. And dragons are amazing!

++Scatha, because he would eat Shelob for a snack.

They're both big and bad.
We know more about Shelob, so I'll vote for her. But no, Scatha could probably burn her up. I'll vote for him. But wait, that whole Shelob bit in LotR is so memorable. I'll vote for her. But gah- dragons are cool, and spiders are creepy and gross. I'll vote for him. *flips coin* ++Scatha

Going with the flow for a change... and agreeing with Eonwë and Andsigil... and the phantom as well with the indecisiveness.
So I've made up my mind. ++ Scatha It was an outrageous thing to call Ancalagon off so let's see the dragons prevail even once!

In stunning news to the arachnid world
Scatha the Worm ousted heavy favorite Shelob 6-3, raising the real possibility of three dragons in the Sweet Sixteen, although both Smaug and the Father of Dragons (makes you wonder who the mother was  ) willface some stiff competition. Next match: the White Cats (of Queen Beruthiel) vs. Tom (can a hoard of cats take out a troll obviously born within the sound of Bow Bells ?

The cats of Queen Beruthiel must be among the most intriguing barely-mentioned stories included in the LotR. I would have loved to know more about them. Besides, cats are wonderful creatures. I adore them. So:
++ the White Cats And I have to comment on the off-topic discussion going on here: the Army of the Dead was essential for getting rid of the Corsairs, but what were the Corsairs for? Tolkien could have left them out if he had wanted to, with no serious damage to his plot.

 So, you see, it's a sort of infinite circle.Anyway - to the task at hand - while Tom is, of all the three trolls, the most stupid (in my opinion, and now thinking not about the intellect, but about the general behavior) and the one I really don't like much, still, he is a Troll, and I like him more than the cats. I am not a huge fan of the tale of the cats, I never found it particularly interesting. Not at all, in fact. I am also voting him a bit as a deputy of his fellow Bert, who, unfortunately, did not make it among the candidates. So, ++Tom the Troll (I hope everybody understands that Tuor meant this one, and not the other fella with the same name and yellow boots  Hey, isn't it interesting how some names reoccur, a pity we don't have two Berts as well...)

 But to the topic. I like cats as well as Greenie but c'mon there's no question on this one ++ Tom But I would like to wonder about the sanity (or evilness) of the mod setting such marvellous characters up against each other on the previous rounds and now presenting us with this choice. To be earnest, both candidates on this round would have lost to anyone on the previous ones...

I hate cats!
 Besides, the trolls offer good comic relief.++Tom
