After reading through Lord of the Rings or even watching the movies, have you ever tried to recall who the various characters and creatures were, only to endup scratching your forehead with a blank expression on your face?

Below I have compiled a few lists of characters and creatures from LOTR and grouped them in ways relevant to the story as a handy memory aid. Not all characters are included but covers the main characters, enemies and others mentioned a fair amount of time throughout the books. Hope you find it useful.
