Notes |
Stone
trolls were common in the far
north of Eriador since Morgoth began
breeding them at the end of the
First Age. They would turn to stone
if exposed to sunlight. |
The
Olog-hai were specially bred by
Sauron at the end of the Third Age. They were braver and more agile
than the older breed, and they could withstand the sun. |

Notes |
Found in northern Eriador, wights were corpses of long-dead Edain reanimated by evil spirits. Immune to normal weapons, they could be hurt only by fire, by the sun, and by magic weapons and spells. They could not communicate with the living by normal means. Attacks by wights inflict normal damage based on the weapon, and they also force the victim to make a Stamina-endurance check or take 1 point of Fatigue damage. |
The
Nine Nazgul were immortal so
long as Sauron lived. Immune to
normal weapons, they could be hurt
only by enchanted weapons, magic, and fire, and even then were only dispersed
for a time until reformed by the power of Sauron. Ring-wraiths only see the invisible spirit
world, but they can sense movement and smell the living. Nazgul suffer a +2 penalty on Interaction
checks dealing with any of the Free Peoples. |

Notes |
Common all throughout the
wild lands of Middle Earth, the wolves of Mirkwood, Mordor, and lands in
between were often under the influence of Sauron. Especially if |
Wargs
were actually evil spirits who
shape-shifted into wolf form at
night (they vanished at sunrise). While
in wolf form, they can be harmed normally (though their corpses vanished at
dawn). Goblin wolf-riders rode upon wargs. |

Notes |
Giant spiders were common all across Mirkwood, growing more common as Sauron’s power increased. Their bite is poisonous (insinuative paralytic, onset 2 rounds, duration 2 hours, +2 penalty on CON feat check). Certain unique spiders (Ungoliant, Shelob) are even larger, smarter, and more deadly. |
The Great Wyrms (dragons) were found in the mountains of the far north (Withered Heath). The scales of a dragon are Good toughness, although a "called shot" to a vulnerable area (where scales are missing, for example) can reduce the toughness to Ordinary. Dragons are foul-tempered and quarrel even among each other. |
Dragon’s breath: Breathing fire (En/O) requires one action, and it can be used only once every other round. The attack requires a Strength feat check and is treated as a "grenade" in terms of effect (Player’s Handbook, page 57). Short range (no penalty) is a number of meters equal to the Strength score; medium range (+1 penalty) is twice the Strength score; long range (+2 penalty) is four-times the Strength score. Targets within a 2-meter radius from the blast point suffer Amazing damage (d4+4w), Good damage (d4+3w) within a radius up to 4 meters, and Ordinary damage (d4+1w) within a radius up to 6 meters. Any one caught in the blast may choose to "hit the deck" (Gamemaster Guide, page 47) and make an Acrobatics-dodge check to degrade the damage one step, but this costs the character’s next available action.
Other Creatures Mentioned in Tolkien’s Works: cold drakes (do not breathe fire); giants (one-headed and two-headed); great eagles (and other giant birds of prey); mumakil (oliphaunts); werewolves and vampires (in The Silmarillion); “hill” and “cave” trolls.
