Interesting is it no that the Foillwers of Sauron were basically the living dead, after Melkar fell S was it.

Question

Black blood of the orces and the fell beast, it was death V.S. life oddest thing that occured to me about this book series. Evil finds its own true form, but in the Lord Of The Rings it was in the form of living death.

Wacked ain't.

Answer 1

It's been a few years since I read The Silmarillion. If I remember correctly, Sauron was one of many apprentices, but he proved to be the most forceful.

I don't know about the "living dead" statement, at least not in the sense of zombies. I believe that the followers were evil, but to different degrees. Some were misguided or mislead (wild men of the west or the Southrons), and some were just created evil (Orcs, Balrogs).

I wish the LOTR movie series could have showed the scenes where the Hobbits basically kick Sauraman's butt. But all in all, I was a good adaptation.

Answer 2

The only "official" living dead among Sauron's followers were the Nazgul or Ringwraiths. They were obviously "living impaired" in some sense or other, though exactly what sense that was Tolkien does not make entirely clear. Orcs were living creatures, made from mutated elves. Trolls appear to be unconnected with Sauron. Gandalf explicitly identified the Balrog as a creature of Morgoth, but then addresses him as "Flame of Udun," that being the entrance to Mordor, just inside the Black Gate.

It may be that Tolkien was suggesting that Morgoth created the Balrog and housed him in Udun before he fell and left Sauron in charge. Perhaps that is why Sauron set up in Mordor in the first place, because it had been one of Morgoth's outposts and important enough to have had a Balrog posted there.

But this is mere guesswork. We will probably never know for sure exactly where the Balrog came from and what it's history might have been. I don't recall that Tolkien said too much about it.
And then, of course, Sauron himself seems to have been killed by Isildur, although it didn't take. He seems to have come back as a sort of undead spirit, unable to take a pleasing shape or a living appearance again after his defeat.

I hope this proves useful.

Answer 3

Put the book in a cupboard. Lock it and throw the key out of the window. Try hard not to think about it again today. Then go for a good, long walk in the real world just outside your door.

Answer 4

orcs: mythical creatures, said to be green and scaly with cold red blood. they also were said to be very aggressive and there is no way to negotiate with them

Uri-kai:these Uri-Kai like in the lord of the rings, are tamed orcs. Saruman tamed them and used 'em in his wars against Gondor.

the Uri-Kai are not living dead, they weren't formally humans. zombies are living dead
zombie: a creature that once was a human, it feeds on human's flesh(in resident evil on all creatures except themselves). always attacks in groups of large numbers. the victim they feed on, turns to be a zombie due to infection.

undead:creatures like zombies, but they don't feed. they are slayed by same means of slaying vampires (holy water-extensive light-cross-garlic)
