A Nameless Thing
This thing is referred to as The Watcher by Elves.
Description
It can be described as Centipede-like yet greater.
Before you see it, you notice a deadly silence.
What you see first is a large maw, with fangs eerily similar to human teeth.
Rumour: When Beleriand was broken, many creatures fled its ruin. Among them is a thing that is particularly large and cruel. Since that time, it has been moving east.
Where the Thing is remembered: The Rangers tell many tales of the horrible and mysterious things that prowl in Eriador. Most are made up, the Elves laughingly say, but one is definitely not. A creature that can suddenly appear at your side while you're sleeping. The Elves speak of it as well, but they are less concerned, since they never sleep…
