has produced many of the exciting creatures that inhabit the
mysterious land of Middle-earth. These include Dragons, Balrogs,
Werewolves, Mumakil, Stone Giants as well as many more strange
beings.
Oliphaunts (mumakil) were grey
with trunks and tusks and big flapping ears. Oliphaunts came
from Harad, in the far south of Middle-earth. The Haradrim used
Oliphaunts in battle and put houses and towers on their backs
to carry Men.
Balrogs are demons of shadow
and flame. Balrogs were creatures of great power and terror.
Their fundamental form appeared to be that of a man of great
stature, but they were cloaked in shifting shadows and they
had fiery cores. Balrogs belonged to the order of the Maiar
- the servants of the Valar. The Balrogs were originally spirits
of fire that were corrupted by Morgoth in the beginning. The
Balrog that attacked the Fellowship in the Mines of Moria may
have been the last of its kind in Middle-earth.
Stone Giants: The only known
reference to them occurs in The Hobbit, in which Bilbo and the
Dwarves encounter them as they cross the Misty Mountains. During
a storm, the Stone-giants emerge, and cast huge boulders about
a rocky valley as part of a bizarre game.
The larger creatures are available in Box Sets,
which require assembly.
