Top Ten Best Lord of the Rings and Hobbit Villains

The Top Ten
1 Sauron Sauron is the title character and main antagonist of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Originally a servant of the first Dark Lord, Morgoth. Morgoth was later defeated and Sauron fled. He later came back to Middle Earth and took over as the new Dark Lord by using a Ring of Power. He was later trapped by having his Ring of Power cut off his finger. He lived in a shapeless form. Sauron was remanifested as a necromancer and after being banished by a group of elves and wizards, Sauron took over the mind of Saruman. They went out and searched for the Ring. Sauron was finally defeated in the War of the Ring.

A very mysterious character. No-one knows what his face looks like and he doesn't appear very often, but he is a vital character to the story. Very interesting. Very powerful.

Fool of a Took, putting your life essence in a ring

Sauoron is the boss o all bad guys.2 he is the most powerful villain ever

2 Saruman Saruman the White is a fictional character and a major antagonist in J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings. In the film adaptations of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, he was portrayed by Sir Christopher Lee.

Saruman was quite a great villain. He is more awesome than Sauron

He is epic was completely at all times

3 The Witch King of Angmar

Do you not know death when you see it, old man? This, is my, hour... *pulls out flaming sword* *screch* You have failed. The world of men will fall.

U know he's like unhittable Ithaca regular sword plus his evil sorcery and great combat skills... also to mention that scream thing. Totally cool

4 Smaug Smaug is a fictional character and the primary antagonist in J. R. R. Tolkien's 1937 novel The Hobbit. In Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy, he was portrayed via motion capture by Benedict Cumberbatch.

I awoke to kill

5 Balrog

More like Durin's Bane. A balrog isn't just one creature, there are a ton of balrogs. It's like saying Dragon is the main character of The Hobbit. But yeah, I guess most people, including me, associates balrog with the balrog that Gandalf fought.

Before dying kill you

6 Azog Azog is a character in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He was a Orc chieftain who lived in Moria until his death in T.A. 2799. He is referred to in a single remark by Gandalf to Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit: "Your grandfather Thrór was killed, you remember, in the mines of Moria by Azog the Goblin." ...read more.

Azog, Sauron and Smaug favorite Villains so far of the Hobbit. Plus Witch King of Angmar.

He was the best no doubt.

12 Gothmog

14 Goblin King

He can sing, he can rule and he can destroy. He kind of is the other goblin King David Bowie. He is awesome

15 The Nazgul
16 Bolg

An orc so fierce and tough that he can make the seemingly invincible Legolas bleed. As the main villain from the hobbit book during the battle of the five armies, Bolg deserves a high ranking on this list.
