The whole Giant-Ent thing is a little theory of mine.

- The entire article need a bit of clean-up. Also, check out the origin-myth of Tarlang's Neck: it's mentioned in The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion, and features a heathen belief in giants making the White Mountains. There's also an elvish root for "giant", NOROTH, giving Quenya norsa and Sindarin noroth. -- Ederchil 05:56, 10 February 2008 (EST)
Image
The image currently used for this page (the concept art from the White Council) is meant to display a troll, perhaps we should change it? I would perhaps instead suggest a picture by Angus McBride released as Thunder's Companion in the MECCG. If you're curious about the pic, make a search at [1]. --Morgan 16:17, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- The current pic doesn't look like a troll to me, but if there are better pics I'd definitely like to have it on the page. As soon as the image bug is solved. -- Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 16:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Removal of sentence
I removed this introductory sentence: "They lived in the [[Misty Mountains]], and maybe the [[Ettenmoors]].", since the first part is repeated soon after and since the second seems to be pure speculation. --Morgan 19:33, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
Stone-giants in the Hobbit
But what other conclusion is there? in the book it states that the company encounter stone-giants in a storm tossing rocks as part of a game. The scene in the video shows the company in a mountainous area, there is a storm and there is a mysterious figure holding a huge rock. Im ready to upload an image of it as soon as I get permission to. Gaetano 19:42, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
