    ....Wait, is this why werebears are a thing in DnD? Specifically why are chaotic good nature defenders?

    Ho did I not realize this sooner?

    Well, though Gygax borrows from Tolkien he also borrows from every myth ever made. Were-creatures were not invented by Tokien. D&D has everything were-thing there is. I do wish Tolkien had given more info about werewyrms. If that is a race of man to dragon shapechangers that'd be cool.

    Ah, but then Majestic Thorin (TM) wouldn't be majestic anymore. And the would-be King Under the Mountain cannot have the consequence of the Line of Durin demeaned in such a way... better to leave such antics to his nephews.

    All kidding aside, looking at how handsome Fili and Kili are, I think that Thorin may have broken many a Dwarrow lady's heart when he was still Prince of Erebor. Or maybe, just maybe, as Richard Armitage wondered, he did have a sweetheart at that time, and, for some reason, lost her (perhaps to Smaug's wrath?), leading him to become the dour fellow we see at the beginning of the Quest.

    Just a thought...

    Lauré :)

    Apparently it's another line or two and a (intentionally) really bad song...
    They aired the EE in New Zealand the other day.
