What animal would be perfect for each of the in the fellowship?

Rokko_Heru · 06-29-2003, 10:47 PM

I was thinking about this a while ago. If the whole trilogy was transfered into animals. What animals would be the best for each of the 9 in the fellowship. This was based on personality i guess, but oh well. You can make more animals for more peeps. Well heres my idea!

Frodo-Guinea Pig
Sam-Rabbit
Merry-Mink
Pippin-Otter
Aragorn-Wolf
Legolas- Fox
Gimli-Mole
Borimir-Badger
Gandalf-Owl

~not the greatest reference. I'll think of better ones later, but im running out of time

Lady of Rohan · 06-29-2003, 11:32 PM

Bill Ferney- ferret or weasel, I can tell.
Legolas (or any elf, for that matter)- Arabian horse (graceful, elegant)
Barliman Butterbur- cow (slow, caustious)

straight_face · 06-30-2003, 10:15 AM

I'm thinking Frodo would be a doe, a female deer. Refrain from asking why.

LutraMage · 06-30-2003, 02:17 PM

Frodo - Shetland Pony
Sam - Golden Retriever
Merry - Chimp
Pippin - Chimp 2
Aragorn - Siberian Tiger
Legolas - Timber Wolf
Gimli - Rhino
Borimir - Grizzly Bear
Gandalf - Golden Eagle

Well considering the fact that he's always scared and has huge eyes...I can see the deer image!!!!

Frodo: Mouse (not afraid to bite if cornered or caught)
Sam: Australian Shepherd (protective and obedient)
Merry:Robin (cheerful, yet intelligent)
Pippin: Dolphin (playful, cute, and shrewd...sort of)
Legolas: Falcon (sharp eyed and a ruthless hunter)
Wormtongue: Rat (Slimy, gross, and...nuff said)
Saruman: Cobra (Deadly, and can spit from afar)
Gandalf: Hawk (can see through lots of things)
Gimli: Shrew (small, yet feisty)
Aragorn: Wolf (noble, team fighter, good wanderer)
Slainte,
Sam.

Right with you Gimli7410, he may have toiled underground, but he was never blind and defenceless when he came out for a breath of fresh air!

well you know a dwarf would always win over an elf

samwise of the shire · 07-01-2003, 12:30 PM

But can a dwarf win over a hobbit? Not in my book. I think that a mole is a bit too nearsighted for a dwarf, of course their eyes aren't as sharp as an elves (or a hobbits), but they aren't blind. I'd think that maybe a hyrax, or maybe a coney, or a rock chuck would suit Gimli better because they live in cliffs, and rocks and other such hard stuff.
Cheers all you dwarvish fans,
Sam the hobbit fan.

Sure a dwarf will win in a sword or axe fight, but would a dwarf beat a hobbit in, say, hitting tin cans with a stone? I reckon it all depends on the competition.

elf queen · 07-07-2003, 07:18 PM

Frodo-pony
Sam-Another pony (AKA Bill)
Pipin-monkey
Merry-Seal
Legolas-Mountain lion
Gimli-yes a rhino is good
Aragorn-Wolf
Borimir-Eagle
Gandalf-A beautiful white horse (AKA Shadowfax)

Lollypopgurl · 07-08-2003, 10:03 PM

My friend and I always used to take all our stuffed animals and 'act' out Lord of the Rings.

Here's the cast:

Frodo- squirrel
Gandalf- an owl
Sam- a puppy
Merry- baby fox
Pippin- baby fox (but different color

)
Aragorn- tiger
Legolas- bird
Gimli- gorilla
Boromir- bear

Saruman- a weird looking dinosaur
Sauron- Garfield (it also doubles for the cave troll in Moria

)
Arwen, Galadriel, Eowyn- different bunnies

Varda Oiolosseo · 07-09-2003, 01:22 PM

Legolas - a cat because he's quick, light on his feet and has very
good eyesight.
Gimli - errrr... a rhino
Frodo - a fish (well Elijah)
Sam - an owl (i have no idea why)
Merry and Pippin - Guinnea Pigs (cute)
Gandalf - White Horse

You know what i'm rubbish at this!
I'll leave it at this! The only one that i genuinally agree with is Legolas as a Cat and Gimli as a rhino! I don't know about the others!

Lalaith · 07-09-2003, 01:24 PM

Legolas - maybe a cat
I have to think about that

anamerial · 10-04-2003, 10:41 PM

i happen to like legolas and he is not a skunk or other animal that no one likes i mean come on there are more websites on legolas and orlando bloom than jrd or gimli aren't there? so that would have to make him more liked somehow i fail to see your point on no one liking him but oh well i won't argue because i know i am right *wink wink* this only applies to what gimli7410 said lol
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and now on the subject matter:

frodo:dog(the puppy dog eyes give him away)
sam: snake (seeing that he likes to garden) if you get my point
pippin: fox (cunning and sneaky;trickster) he jokes aroud a lot
merry: mink (i happen to like minks too)
legolas: eagle ( because elven eyes can see over long distances)
boromir: kangaroo ( i don't know why but he just reminds me of 1)
aragorn: bear ( he is a born leader like bears and their young)
gandalf: goat (the beard is a little much for me but no offense)
gimli: a chow chow( all the hair i mean come on j/k i like chows

)

eowyngirl14 · 10-05-2003, 03:44 PM

legolas- a bald eagle, thinks hes the best thing since sliced bread, and thinks that everything else should look up to him, but is in reality quite ugly! (hee he hee

)
