What about Sauron? One big floating eyeball, red I must add, seems like a pretty weird creation. If he's got a form, then fine, he's a regular guy, but no body except a giant eyeball?!?! ;-)
The Ents are a bit strange too. Oh, by the way, if ne1 knows and Ents, please tell them to destroy our local council because they sent people with chain-saws to de-limb the trees across from my house.

Tom Bombadil. I mean, no one really knows for sure who he is anyway. He sings to save hobbits from giant trees, and the Ring has no effect on him. That's pretty strange.

**Goldberry and Ents. I mean, as far as our world goes, they are the most similar-to-but-oddly-different from real world creations.**

There is this passage from the FOTR in the Old Forest chapter "...and if they looked up to the pale sky, they caught sight of queer gnarled and knobbly faces that gloomed dark against the twilight, ..." I see these as being like wizened fairy types from folklore.

Yep, that is rather common and regular in this world, at least.

I think that the Valar are quite weird.. Sitting in their high chairs, sipping tea and not doing anything, when Middle-Earth is on the edge of losing the war with Sauron. :')
(I know that the Eagles at the end of the war at the Morannon were a sign of Manwë and that they sent the Istari, etc., but still.. I think they're pretty weird. Still love them eventually. ) |

How you can't love them when they are core of your existence?
They are the forces of nature. The nature could be weird, could be brutal and unforgiving, but can you live without air, water, soil that nurtures greens, fire that warms you?...
