Imagine a place as beautiful as the Shire surrounded by forests and mountains full of terrifying creatures. Damn man this is so cool
just think these are 3rd age monsters. weak compared to the monsters in the 1st age. you had dragons bigger than mountains. not to mention legions of balrogs.
Beleriand wasn’t destroyed by Illuvatar; it was destroyed in the War of Wrath, in the last battle against Morgoth.
It’s hard to imagine even the most powerful Elves being capable of “drowning” Beleriand, including its mountains. This war, after all, occurred over a thousand years before the Elves of Eregion made the Rings of Power so they had no great artifacts that might have enhanced their power
@@am-shak the valar were directly aiding the elves, fighting against Melkor and his forces. it was them that unleashed the powers that sank Beleriand
@@richardnowell7089 nowhere is the cause of the sinking of Bereriland given, ever.
@@Hundredyacrewoods Belariand destroyed FA 587 War of Wrath FA 545-587 The world had changed greatly, for the fury of both sides in the war had wreaked havoc on much of the land. The northern areas were torn asunder, rivers formed or destroyed, mountains and hills changed.[2] The wreckage of the war was immense; most of the land west of the Ered Luin sank beneath the waves, and Beleriand was destroyed. The sea broke through the Ered Luin and formed the Gulf of Lhûn.[4] its a direct result
@Hundredyacrewoods fd in the a 🥵😆
4:38 that's not a picture of a mountain troll, it's an Olog-Hai. Mountain trolls are much bigger. Also there is a mistake in the hobbit movie saying that the three trolls that wanted to eat dwarves are mountain trolls and that was wrong in the movie because they are stone trolls.
Very cool video! One take-away: If you find yourself in Middle Earth...avoid mountains and forests lol!
Glaurung was evil's MVP. His mindfuck games were epic, and caused multiple suicides. He could have just slain the heroes that went against him, but he preferred to torment them, trick them, and in the end drive them to take their own lives. Badass evil dragon.
Nah Sauron takes it easily. He killed Finrod Felagund, ravaged the early kingdoms of men, demolished Mordor, and then when he got caught, he manipulated his way into a leadership position and got fucking NUMENOR sunk. And that's before we even talk about the Ring
@@thekillers1stfan Fealgund and a werewolf both slew each other in Sauron's dungeon. I don't know if I'd give that kill to Sauron. The werewolf deserves some credit. FYI, Finrod Fealgund was Good's MVP, fucking strangling a werewolf with bare hands as a captive. That's when Elven heroes were fucking hardcore.
@@brendandrislane4560 Nah, Good's mvp has to be Luthien. She straight up got Huan to abandon his owner with a little sob story, cleansed Sauron's base of operations (making Sauron himself tuck tail and run), waltzed into Angband, put Morgoth himself to sleep, robbed his ass, and got away with it.
@@brendandrislane4560 Eh the Dwarf king made Glaurang run for fear of his life during the battle of unnumbered tears, the dwarves then routed the dragon and his children off the field of battle before picking their dead king up into a funeral procession and just walking off the battlefield with no force of Morgoth willing to challenge them again. Give the dwarves some credit, they where the best weapon and armor smiths bar none in the first age, and could withstand dragon and balrog fire where humans and elves died to it. This message is approved by the Sons of Durin gang.
Don't forget Carcharoth the first werewolf from Beren and Luthien.
It was not the first, but it was the greatest wolf ever.
The first one was actually Draugluin, his ancestor, the one Huan slays before Sauron leaves Tol-in-Gaurhoth in a werewolf's body and the one that Luthien later turns Beren into to disguise him.
You left out Crebain? The Barrow Wights? The Dead Men of Dunharrow (which are in the movie) the Huorns (which are in the movie)? The Pukel Men (not the Druadain but the woodcarving statues that can come to life? The corpse candles or ghosts of the dead marshes (shown in the film)? The werewolves and vampires of The Isle of Werewolves. Old Man Willow (which may be a huorn)?
What exactly is old man willow? Just a rogue huorn? I forget if in the books it's ever stated. Also, another thing to add to your list could be the nameless things. However, there'd be no picture to accompany it. In fact, that's probably for the best.. pictures could give them power..
@@jackalope_hunter he’s a great willow tree in the forests outside of the shire (don’t remember name)
I don’t think he has actually read the books. He seems to take most of this “knowledge” from the movies, I haven’t read anything of wereworms in the books.
@@langskeppet9887 In the books wereworms are most likely a legend in hobbit folklore, only briefly mentioned by Bilbo in the first chapter of the hobbit. It is generally regarded among Tolkien scholars that the are not actually real, but they might possibly be some of the nameless things like the Watcher in the water and Ungoliant
@@rafexrafexowski4754 yes, I never actually noticed that in the books.
Good video. Just a suggestion but you can also do the locations of all the major battles in each of the Ages of Middle Earth and an overview of what happened.
I love bestiary locations in maps 🤩👍 Marvelous Work for such poétic & mythical saga!
Beorn lived in the west of Murkwood not the east. Between the misty mountains and the woods. That is how he help the dwarves. And was later given all of that land between the woods in the mountains to protect which made it possible for Gimly to travel to Riveindel.
Yes I was going to say that
He circles Rhovanion but places and describes Beorn accurately, saying he is west of mirkwood and east of the eagles
Hey what about Huorns, Barrow Wraiths, Tom Bombadil and Goldberry, Caradhras and Red Horn Spirit (yep, these mountains have their own will)?
Beorns hall was NE of the carrock. Between the Anduin river and Mirkwood.
I think you forgot to put Samwise Gamgee (the mighty gardener) and ofc Tom Bombadil on the list
I want to hear more about Sam
Monsters in the middle Earth is so unique
Spiders trolls goblins dragons etc not exactly unique.
Exactly the same as ever fantasy story ever... no less impressive just not unique.
@@authoritariangentleman7570 Only that Lord of the Rings is one of the very first modern fantasies created. It introduced the concept of Elves as tall, beautiful humanoids. Before they were only known in old English folklore as tiny forest fey beings, with wings etc. Every fantasy story written afterwards has embraced a lot of Tolkien's concept, so today it feels generic. But in fact it's the original.
@@marekmaly2337 Tolkien didn't have a single original being. He took them from other things. This is the definition of unoriginal
@@xengen212 says who? how many books did u write lol....
Sea Serpents is Canon acording to volumes of History of middle earth
Epic lore!
So, the sea serpents aren't mentioned in the books but you say that because they are in rings of power they can be considered canon?!!! Oh and yes there are serpents on some maps of Middle earth but this was a convention in early map drawing to decorate the edges with weird and wonderful creatures - it was never meant to be taken literally!
It's actually mentioned in Tolkien's linguistic writings that the elves had a word for a sea-serpent, so it's possible that they are canon
i still only have one question that was never answered to me, where did smaug came from, ik it may sound stupid but where did he came from before taking out erebor?
Were did you get this map or can get it? I am interested in der Southern and Eastern Parts of Middle Earth
Very good/informative video
Sea Serpents/Dragon is Canon! it was mentioned in the "Unfinished Tales"
Where were the barrow-wights and Old Man willow (I think was his name. The evil tree near the Shire)?
Good video
The Great Desert Nafarat houses monsters too like Othravátvi , Ashèrkus.
I’ve always wondered what lotr universe would look like after thousands of years, imagine lotr in the future. Orcs carrying guns n shit, orc hitler, hobbit ghandi
I feel like they would be extinct by then if not damn near. After the setting of LOTR the bad guys were going to be human cults. It is a safe assumption we would be our own worst enemy after.
Great ! All the inhabitants of middle-earth need are pokeballs.
You are not following lore canon Tolkien. Almost all you said in your video is about the movies. There are several errors
As per the other comments, too many missing.
Amazing video
What about the Huorns? Old Man Willow? And Barrow-wights?
Rings of power would been great show if they explored more of Middle Earth like LOTR Conquest did with alot awesome playable characters i always loved playing Saruan he is too op
No barrow wights?
I was under the impression that the stone giants were actually metaphorical (a way by which the characters described the sounds of the thunderstorm). Peter Jackson interpreted them quite literally though.
Even in the book there were literally trolls that turn to the stone they were made of if the sunlight touches them.
@@user-yw1nl6sk7y And? I didn't say that the trolls were metaphorical. I can't remember if it was how Tolkien explained the stone giants in a letter or something, but it's not my own interpretation.
Ungoliant came from a place called Avathar, a land in the south-eastern part of Aman, south of Valinor.*
It only situated on Angband's south after It's aftermath with Morgoth.
That is where she resided when Morgoth found her. It is strongly alluded that she came from the chaos as a true daemon before the creation of Arda
@@jonrivers7779 Indeed, I adore thy conceiving of Ungoliant being the own unquenchable void/darkness coming from Melkor's gargantuan heartburning in the first Music of the Ainur. However, I referred thy location because it suits more with the video's premise of fact based, not on this kind of statement. Basically, by Avathar, Aman, being a concrete location.
So where did the Wargs come from originally ?
You missed out on the Huorns
Didn’t mention the various werewolf’s, and hounds, eagles of names from the Silmarillion.
The balrog isn’t a monster….its a discorded maiar
Ent too, its just friendly protector of the forest.
You should add the creatures from the shadows of war series such as Grougs and Caragor, and Ghoul
@Emiel De Wit neither are the Gundabad Ogres, sea worms and 35 foot Catapult Trolls they were not Tolkien inventions
does Thranduil kill the great serpent?
where i can find this map?
''Gil-Galad was an elven king; of him Jeff Bezos sadly sing''
So essentially, if you find yourself in middle earth, stay away from the mountains.
You forgot to add Galadriel
😂
that was so well paced it somehow only felt like 3 minutes
What was the location of Morgoth acc to map?
He has been thrown to the void. Which is like another dimension
@@mindq4328 I think he meant his fortresses location while he was still in Arda
@@davidkosiba624 that would be Angband, which is already mentioned.
@@witdajuice6763 I think he means Utumno, but that fortress is lost. It is speculated that it lay in the Icebay of Forochel or under Angmar.
Rings of power is fanfiction
Rings of power are shitstorm
is there a reason most creatures are evil or fight for the enemy? like why aren't there 'good' beasts like cats etc. Even eagles and ents are neutral and only fight for the good once or twice
Because most of them were made/twisted by Morgoth and are therefore imbued with his evil and are loyal to him and his cause
@@datzfatz2368 yeah that makes sense, but why don’t the good have any creatures
@@Do27gg i dunno^^ we have the Ents and Eagles as you mentioned, the Beornings too and maybe HUan the Hound if you want to count him but thats about it. You would have to ask Tolkien about that thats just what he seemed to want^^
@@datzfatz2368 I’ll phone him now
@@Do27gg lemme know what he says im also curious^^
* Ancalagon depicted to scale *
Don't forget the vampires and werewolves
Where i found this full map ?
Took me like 5 seconds of googling...
where Valinor?
And Morgoth first encountered ungoliant on the edges of Aman
You forget about Olog Hai
he name them like a ''mountain troll''
Give me the link of the map brother
rings of power aren't kanon
Outside the Mines of Moria, there is also the giant octopus creature that attacked Frodo in the Lord of the Rings movie.
He mentioned that as the "watcher in the water"
We call it Khazad-dum.
Sea Serpents were canon. Nâfarat was not tho.
carcaroh,drauglin,thurweightel,
The entire middle Earth is another continent west of Westeros.
Café Troll
We learned, dont go to mountains
Where is the legendary Gollum 🤣
If I had this map, I would hang it in my room.
Dead army? Tomb creatures?
why are people making a fus about a ice troll?
Its because its in rings of power and so they have assumed (understandably) Jeff bezos made it up. However, the compendiums from Tolkien and his son do mention a breed of troll called a snow troll, albeit obliquely. The tale of Helm Hammerhand refers to him stalking the enemy in frozen waste and them thinking he was a Snow Troll he was so fierce
Rings of Power isn't canon
thanks Eru for it btw
not well done research...
shelob _=??
Venom vs SCP 096
caragor?
Did you honestly consider anything in Rings of Power canon? Ima pretend you didn’t. Say that. Poor Tolkien is rolling around in his grave cause of that wretched new show.
Jeesus...
sea serpent arte canon, they are mentionned in the unfinished tales
ugh mentioning amazons pile of crap in this make me want to puke..
Rings of woke is shit and can't be counted as cannon 😂
rings of power aint canon
No shit Sherlock
U said in ur video that it was tf
We will take you from one monster location, to another. No duh
