Q: What kinds of enemies do you fight in the higher level zones with the initial release content?
A: We've got orcs and we've got trolls and we've got drakes, which are essentially dragons, we've got all kinds of nasty things. Giants. In the foothills around Rivendell there's a bunch of giants, which are from the lore. There's all different kinds of trolls, there's snow beasts, essentially a giant troll in the snow areas, there's wood trolls which are these really scary looking, I couldn't even describe them to you; things that look like they grew out of trees that you find in some of the marsh lands. The crebain are always flying around giving you trouble. There's wargs and barghast. At a little higher level you get the wargs, which are the giant, sentient wolves that Tolkien talks about quite a bit. Of course the Nazgul and the Witch-king. There's a whole army of wights and a wight-lord that commands them. There's ethereal creatures called shades, which are these floating, half-translucent undead creatures.
