Watcher In The Water - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

<font color=white> Tolkien never went into any particular depth about the watcher in the water (as far as i know). Somehow, in my humble opinion I don't consider it to be a Maia, so that leaves the possibility - It's an enigma. Sometimes in Tolkien's works there are questions that just don't have answers and we just have to accept it - although i still enjoy debating over what Tom Bombadil really is.
