Quoted By:
Half-Men
Horrors of Dol-kien, the Dolorous Lord, The Keen Lord Of Suffering. They are formed from stitching the sawn corpses of men, and given hallucination for a soul. The Half-Men are said to spread foul narcotics of the noxious leaf wherever they walk to poison and intoxicate the populace; the ancient legend of The Usurper describes a grim portent of their coming - when dead trees uproot themselves and walk.
(In addition to stealing from Beowulf hehe, Tolkien took so much from Macbeth too.
Birnam forest walking? Ents. Eowyn slaying the witch-king, who cannot be slain by any man of woman born etc, again also the ending of Macbeth)
