Get the uzemug. Tree-creature in Lord of the Rings. Ents are tall, slow and patient creatures which live in the forest of Fangorn and exist to protect the trees from harm. Related to Entwife. Make for very cool special effects in films, especially when it comes to trashing Isengard.
That tree's got a face - it looks just like an ent.
You need the patience of an ent to put up with this degree course.
Tony Blair's revived the road building programme! I hope an ent squashes him.

Get the Entmug. A merchant, met by Lone Wolf in Joe Dever's Lone Wolf 2: Fire on the Water. He is one of the passengers on the coach from Ragadorn to Durenor, which Lone Wolf is forced to flee in Gorn Cove.
In the Legends novels, Halvorc is slain in the fighting which followed Lone Wolf's battle with an assassin.

Sounds like "half-orc", but confusingly, the character is fully human (though a little on the pudgy side). Anyway, there's no Orcs in the Lone Wolf universe.

Get the Halvorcmug. A region of Beleriand, in the north, just to the south of Ard-Galen/Anfauglith and separated by a thin strip of land from Doriath to the south. It is a plateau surrounded by tall mountains which can be reached only via a few dangerous passes, which seem to lead mainly to Nan Dungortheb. Notable features include Rivil's Well and Tarn Aeluin.
Its role in Tolkien's book The Silmarillion is mainly as a site of a rearguard action by a small, heroic band of 14 outlaws led by the human king Barahir and including his son, Beren. It was overrun by Morgoth's forces after Dagor Bragollach, and became a scene of guerrilla battles until eventually only the 14 remained, harassing orkish patrols in the region. After Sauron crushed the outlaws, it was renamed Taur-nu-Fuin.

Get the Dorthonionmug. The eldest of the seven sons of Feanor in Tolkien's book, The Silmarillion. He was also the lord of their armies after Feanor was slain.
He was captured by Morgoth shortly after his return to Middle-Earth and was held for a long time, chained by one arm to the wall of Angband, until rescued. He fought in various battles, including Nirnaeth Arnoediad and the attack on Elwing's forces, in an attempt to retrieve the Silmarils.
Eventually able to obtain one of the 2 jewels from Morgoth's crown, he found it unbearable to hold and ended up casting it into a volcano before killing himself.

Maedhros was the most tragic of the sons of Feanor, and seems to have been written out of many of their darkest deeds.

The uruloki included not only the winged dragons but also the wingless fire- and cold-drakes.
