Talk:Thuringwethil

Image change

I propose this one, by Tolrone. --IvarTheBoneless

do you always want an image you uploaded.

No, but it is the most representative of the bunch (the one by Ted Nasmith is great, but it isn't technically Thuringwethil - it's Lúthien disguised as Thuringwethil). Also, if I didn't think the image was any good, I wouldn't have uploaded it in the first place. --IvarTheBoneless

It looks nice but I prefer the one from Kimberly. Bare in mind Tolkien's vampires are just giant bats. Gaetano 08:28, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Well, to be fair, Kimberly's Thuringwethil isn't a giant bat either. --IvarTheBoneless

That is her other form. Gaetano 09:58, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

What is your source for that? Because I can't remember any instance in either "The Silmarillion" or the "HoME" that describes her in a humanoid form. --IvarTheBoneless

Thuringwethil 'Woman of Secret Shadow', the messenger of Sauron from Tol-in-Gaurhoth who took the form of a great bat, and in whose shape Lúthien entered Angband.
—The Silmarillion, Index of Names

Again that is Kimberly's interpretation of Thuringwethil, there is not much information to go about her description, she could have a beautiful or monstrous visage. Gaetano 11:10, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Fair enough. Though I still prefer the one by Tolrone, simply because it combines a shape of a giant bat with the face of a woman. --IvarTheBoneless
