In the new production video for The Hobbit, Sir Ian makes a quiet crack about being in a small room with 13 dwarves. Jackson took it as a comment on heat, but I think he meant that dwarves were a bit ahead of the curve on this matter.
I would imagine that Ents would not need to shit in the woods. Instead they would fart pure oxygen.
I guess adventures aren’t all pony rides in the May sunshine after all.
Sindarin elves’ shit probably doesn’t stink. But the Sylvan Elves we saw in The Hobbit? The ones over whom Thranduil (Legolas’ father) ruled? The ones whose drunken guards allowed Bilbo to break out the dwarves? Admittedly their shit probably doesn’t stink as much as Human shit does, but I’ll bet you it doesn’t smell like strawberries or roses.
And I can definitely see a campfire scene like the one in Blazing Saddles on Bilbo’s journey with Thorin Oakenshield’s gang. In fact, if Brooks hadn’t already done it, I could easily see Jackson having such a scene in The Hobbit. Tolkien never mentioned it, but you just know dwarves fart. And don’t get me started on Orcs and Trolls!
Grey-Elves poop poop. Non-stinky poop, but poop.
The Elves of the LIght (the Caliquendi) poop rainbows.
A slightly related question–does Middle Earth have tides? As I recall, the Sun and the Moon are, in fact, just pieces of fruit so I’m not sure there’s going to be any real gravitational pull to speak of.
only lorien, rivendell and (i suppose) mordor have weather control.
But what do the Grey poop on?
Aaaaaaand now I have an unpleasant image of where that Ent draught actually comes from.
Imagine this in Treebeard’s voice and cadence from the movies.
“Barum Harum…I went up into the mountains…in winter…to take (sigh, pause) a dump”
