Top 10 Most Terrifying Lord of the Rings Characters
Characters that would be scary if you ran into them.
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. Just everything he has done. And the ring, when you put it on. The scene where he defeats Gandalf in The Desolation of Smog. Gandalf: " Where is your master?"
Azog: "He is everywhere. We are legion!"
That gave me chills. The scene where Glorfindel banishes him. The combination of how long it took someone as powerful as her to banish him and the way he moved when she was banishing him. Creepy. The effects of the ring when you put it on.
Sauron to Frodo, " I see you."
That scared me half to death. Also, if that's not enough, search youtube for; Necromancer/ Sauron theme. It's the first one that appears. It's long, but listen to it all. It's horrifying.
His eye is just creepy. It's like looking into a black hole full of hate.
He strikes fear into the hearts of the people of middle earth.
When I said Glorfindel, I meant Galadriel. Now, I feel like an idiot. Sorry 'bout that!
As an arachnaphobic, Shelob absolutely tertifies me. I'm really glad I wasn't in Frodo or Sam's place.
It is a giant freaking spider!
to be honest, Sauron is awful. He never does anything at all and is easily the most overrated villain in movie and book history.
Also this is kinda offtopic but am I the only one who thinks marvel used the balrog as inspiration for surtur in thor ragnarok?
It looks like Lucifer himself!
Freaky son of a biscuit
Imagine a cow but 10 times bigger who turned into a demon on steroids
That's the balrog
Unlike Sauron, this guy actually gets up and does something.
He is not scary, besides that he can't die, he is beast.
Pretty scary. I like the dragon he rides.
'No man can kill me'

The ones that didn't creep out the first time they saw him have really brave hearts.
He's stronger than he looks.
Gives me the creeps.
The poor fish...
Morgoth could probably look at any modern western villain and say "That's cute." Guy makes Smaug look like a pansy and Shelob like a box of kittens.
He's the best villain of the entire Tolkien universe but he's not from LOTR but from the Silmarillion.
Books only, not the movies.
Sauron's boss during the First Age.
The more ancient the more scary. He is ancient
I suppose he's too not scary. But you wouldn't want to make him angry!
Just imagine Shelob, but bigger and creepier and spewing darkness. She has an everlasting hunger and went toe to toe with Morgoth for crying out loud. Scary to think of witnessing her.
Queen of all spiders, and grandmother to Shelob, but three times larger. Balrogs were created to fight her, but it took several Balrogs just to get a tie in the fight.
She devoured herself just think about that. And she was able to overwhelm Morgoth if it wasn't for the Balrogs.
He's the creepiest LOTR character ever, just look at those yellow teeth, that's so grose and his voice is so evil.
He should be number 1! He's a dentist nightmare.
I can't get over how dirty his teeth are.
Yes, this is so scary!
