Odd creature out!! - Page 5 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

**The Saucepan Man** · 11-11-2003, 12:42 PM

Sorry for the delay. Here's the next list:

Arod
Felarof
Hasufel
Roheryn
Shadowfax

Which one is the odd creature out?

Telchar · 11-11-2003, 06:23 PM

Arod.... as it is the only name that can be written in a common English word such as parody [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[ November 11, 2003: Message edited by: Telchar ]

Finwe · 11-11-2003, 08:06 PM

Arod... because he was the only horse ridden by an Elf (and a Dwarf).

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-12-2003, 12:56 AM

Roheryn isn't owned by an Eotheod, or Rohirrim?

**The Saucepan Man** · 11-12-2003, 07:23 PM

Telchar. No. Just no. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

It's quite possible that Roheryn was ridden by an Elf at some point, having been a gift from Arwen to Aragorn.

True. But not what I am looking for.

Keep guessing. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Finwe · 11-12-2003, 07:44 PM

Shadowfax was the only horse who withstood the Nazgul?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-12-2003, 07:50 PM

How about, Arod bore two beings at the same time at some point in his life.

Keep going, folks. There was a clue in my last post. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-12-2003, 07:55 PM

Or maybe Felarof wasn't a gift from someone else, or owned and successfully ridden by someone else before the current owner.

Roheryn was the only horse to be given as a sort of "love present" from one lover to the other (Arwen to Aragorn).

(BTW, Yes! I've hit 1300!)

Telchar · 11-13-2003, 02:30 AM

Arod / Given/Lent to Legolas/Gimli by Eomer
Felarof / Given to noone
Hasufel / Given/Lent Aragorn by Eomer
Roheryn / Given to Aragorn by Arwen
Shadowfax / Given to Gandalf by Theoden

So Felarof for not being given by someone to someone else...

**The Saucepan Man** · 11-13-2003, 07:28 AM

OK, Nilpaurion Felagond got the right OCO and reason, but Telchar gave the full explanation that I was looking for. So, I declare it a draw. Whichever sees this first may post the next question. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-13-2003, 07:48 PM

What's...OCO?

Anywhen...

Crebain
Neekerbreekers
Smaug
Rochallor

Gil-Galad · 11-13-2003, 07:58 PM

Rochaller becasue its the only one not mentioned to be seen by any hobbits?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-13-2003, 08:00 PM

Sorry, no...

Evisse the Blue · 11-14-2003, 01:02 AM

Rochallor because it was a 'good' creature while the others either served evil or inflicted evil for their own purposes

Telchar · 11-14-2003, 01:10 AM

Rochallor couldnt fly... ?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-16-2003, 04:42 AM

Thanks, Sauce...

Anywhen...no, don't pick on Rochallor...he ain't the answer... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The Laurenendorian · 11-16-2003, 10:59 AM

The Neekerbreekers were only found in one area, whereas all of the others travelled about?

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 11-16-2003, 03:06 PM

Smaug was the only one capable of speech?

Mahal · 11-16-2003, 04:10 PM

Smaug...was in the Hobbit the rest in Lotr?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-16-2003, 08:34 PM

OK. This was really short. The Horse-Maiden got it.

*Makes an harmless-looking chalk line on the lamp post* Your go.

EDIT: Erm, Sauce, what does your sig do? Mean, I mean.

[ November 16, 2003: Message edited by: Nilpaurion Felagund ]

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 11-17-2003, 09:00 PM

Whoa, I got one! Okay, here goes:

Thrush
Pony
Dog
Oliphaunt

Finwe · 11-17-2003, 09:14 PM

I think I've got it narrowed down to two:

1) Oliphaunt -- because it was never a main character or a speaking character

Thrush --> told Bard the Bowman about Smaug's weak spot in The Hobbit
Pony --> Bill the Pony ('nuff said!)
Dog --> Huan (in the Silmarillion)

OR

2) Dog -- because it was the only one that didn't come into contact with Hobbits

Thrush --> overheard Bilbo speaking
Pony --> Bill the Pony (Sam took care of him)
Oliphaunt --> Frodo and Sam saw one in Ithilien

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-17-2003, 11:24 PM

The thrush flies?

The Dog is from Valinor?

The Oliphaunt is an enemy animal?(well, sort of...)

Telchar · 11-18-2003, 04:14 PM

Trush, because it never attacked anyone...

Mad Baggins · 11-18-2003, 06:12 PM

Sorry, all...those are good guesses but incorrect. And didn't Farmer Maggot own three dogs? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Finwe · 11-18-2003, 10:00 PM

Thrush, because Frodo was never afraid of the thrush.

He was afraid of a pony when Merry came to meet them after they stayed at Farmer Maggot's, because swathed in his scarf, Merry looked like a Ringwraith on his steed (albeit a very short, stubby Ringwraith!)

He was afraid of dogs because Farmer Maggot owned dogs, who had chased Frodo out of their master's field more than once.

Frodo was probably slightly afraid of the oliphaunt that he and Sam saw in Ithilien.

Estanesse · 11-22-2003, 09:01 AM

Is the oco a Thrush, because no one has ever ridden it?

There was Luthien mounted upon huan, a pony by hobbits and Oliphaunt by men of the east.

Mad Baggins · 11-22-2003, 05:50 PM

Still no. Good guesses everyone, keep it up!

Finwe · 11-23-2003, 12:00 PM

Dog, because Elves never rode any of the other creatures in the books. (Luthien rode Huan).

Mad Baggins · 11-23-2003, 09:05 PM

Nope.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-23-2003, 11:50 PM

The oliphaunt, because it has a family member in its name? Oliphaunt? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

No, seriously...the oliphaunt, because the name doesn't exist in real life?

Or maybe the dog, for it killed one of its kind...

Mad Baggins · 11-27-2003, 08:13 PM

Incorrect.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-02-2003, 10:49 PM

I know...A clue, a clue! (in standard "Blue's clues" voice)

Anything but Arwen · 12-07-2003, 01:33 PM

Its been more than ten days...new OCO please!

12-08-2003, 11:25 AM

a thrush is the only animal that isnt used as a working animal:

a pony to carry stuff

a dog to attack/protect

an Oliphant attacks and carries stuff

Tuor Turambar,Cursed by the Valar · 12-08-2003, 03:19 PM

A thrush, because it is the only animal not mentioned in the LotR (it is only in the hobbit, as far as i know)
