Strange beasts
What were those beasts pulling the huge battering ram? I've never heard anything about them before. Does anybody know?

I've always thought of them as some kind of huge trolls. Maybe I'm wrong though...

do you mean the rhino-like creatures, or the trolls? If it was the rhino-things you ment, it could well be one of Melkors or Saurons malformed creatures.

I think that this tread was mainly about the creatures, not about the trolls.
Did you read a description of a rhino-like beast or are you speaking about the creatures Peter Jackson showed us? EfR |

As mentioned before, possibly some products of Melkor from the First Age and before.

I did mean those in the movie, and it looked very much like som Melkor stuff, big, ugly and evil.
