Death Of Sauron. Spoilers
Ok theres not much to go on this but on a website it says that Sauron will be a man clad in spiked armour. When the ring is destroyed barad-dur falls apart and Sauron flys from it onto a spike.
Even though this scene isn't in the return of the king or any other book, theres no way to say it can't have happened. |

Re: Death Of Sauron. Spoilers
This is completely against canon and makes no sense, and I believe it is a fan conjuring. I read the article and Dark Horizons. It talks about being impailed by a spike: obviously inspired by the Saruman pic. It also explains how he's dressed, just rehashing what we've seen in trailer 3 and previous spy reports. I don't believe it, they've left the books before but no one would go this far

Re: Death Of Sauron. Spoilers
I agree with Darth, although we have heard from very reliable sources (or do we know?) that we will actually see Sauron. I think there was some mention of a skull helmet. It inspired Michael Martinez to write (or type) an article about villains.

Re: Death Of Sauron. Spoilers
It's a hoax. Someone mashed together a few different reports and made that travesty out of it.

Sauron
cool board...
Sauron will appear in the movie... in fact, there is a very brief glimpse of his skull mask in the beginning of the trailer. My guess would be that this comes from some sort of flashback scene when Gandalf is speaking on the history of the ring and the last alliance. Maybe the impailing is a reference to Isildur killing Sauron with Gil-Galad's spear (I can't quite remember the order of who killed who when in that fight) and then they show Barad-dur colapsing after he falls... just speculation on my part. |

Re: Sauron
Welcome!
The impaling is definitely an echo of the pic we've seen of Saruman, the wizard-ka-bob pic. Does it say somewhere Isildur slew Sauron with Gil-galad's spear? I didn't know about that. |

Sauron
Thank you.
You're probably right on the Saruman thing. As far as how Sauron was actually killed... I'm just going from a sketchy memory of the history... maybe it was Elendil who did him in with his sword... I can't quite remember. |

Re: Sauron
As far as I remember, it's with it sword, Narsil.

Re: Sauron
This can't be right. Sauron has only four forms, three of which were built by him during the reign of Melkor. These were a wolf, a vampire, and a serpent. The fourth was built after Isildur took the Ring. This was of a lidless eye, yellow, and glazed over like a cat's. It is said that the slit of the eye is like a hole into absolute nothingness.
Hence his alias, The Lidless Eye. He was also called the Red Eye by his Orcs; even though the eye was yellow. It can be confirmed this was because of the recognization of his slain assailers. Ever wondered why his Orc armies had red eyes on their helms? I would hate to see Sauron in any other form; for one he is not seen by the Fellowship and he does not change form. |

Re: Sauron
I suppose he's reffering to my comment about Sauron having a skull mask in the movies, and brownjenkins confirmation of it.
I might say I feel it rather doubtful Sauron actually _was_ the Eye. I've never read that anywhere. He seems to have a terrible humanoid form, although he undoubtedly has a very extroadinary Eye. I imagine he only has one. And he was a shape-shifter in the old days, like all the Ainur he could assume any form he wanted according to his personality and will. Although a wolf, vampire and serpent is what we see in the Beren and Lúthien chapter |

Re: Sauron
Hmm, everyone needs to review their history, even inoldonil judging by that last post!

Re: Sauron
I always thought that Sauron had a human form, and that the Eye was what you felt when his "thought" passed over you.

In the Journey to the crossroads, the statue is made to look like the Dark Lord Sauron.

Re: Death Of Sauron. Spoilers
Well... I have to disagree. I don't think the mocked statue is made to look like the Dark Lord. (But I still believe Sauron to have a humanoid form)

Re: Death Of Sauron. Spoilers
Tolkien himself drew a sketch of Sauron for a cover of RotK. It proves that Sauron has a Humanoid appearance.

Re: Death Of Sauron. Spoilers
As for Sauron and a humanoid form, I agree... his form was hideous, but it is still humanoid, I think...
But one thing that I started wondering about up here... Was Sauron ever killed in SA? Isildur cut off one off his fingers, and took the Ring... the sword was already broken then, and I don't think he could have killed him with it... and I do not believe that Isildur took Gil-Galads sword and killed Sauron either... And the statue at the Crossroads was not made into the semblance of Sauron, I think... it was destroyed by the orcs because it was of a King of Gondor, and was meant to praise Sauron, I think, not look like him.. |

Sauron survived the destruction of the Ring didn't he?
